I have broadcasted clover into stubble many times and it works well especially if you get a heavy rain shortly after seeding to mud-in the seed. But the stand is better if you lightly disc the ground just enough to scratch up a 1/2" of loose dirt to better cover the seed. The traditional way of seeding legumes is with a nurse crop of small grains where the alfalfa is frost seeded in early winter and supported by the grain from washing out...
