Planting heirloom wheat in the dark

Rain is forecast so at 4 in the afternoon Roberto and I decided we should just work through and plant the wheat. The variety is Sonora which we undersowed with two clovers. The first one was Berseem and the second Persian. In the second acre we planted both clovers with the wheat. Once the wheat is harvest in June the sheep and chickens will graze the clover pasture and fertilize the field with their manure. In this way we get a wheat crop, the soil gets a break from vegetables and fertility.
