I am not sure of your mix, but this is the ideal time to 'top seed' which many of us have gone to in this area of Wisconsin. Our ground is so rocky, to plow, disc, drag,seed, and drag again - would require many,many hours of picking rocks. We 'top seed' a very hardy red clover as early in the spring as possible. Usually, when the snow if off. Even if it snows again - no problem - the stuff wont sprout till the temp is right. Spring rains 'drive' the seed in, but red clover seed is small, not sure about rye.
I wouldnt bother with 'scuffing' the field. All the work will be done by the rain. If you have pasture you want to get rid of, spray with round-up first and wait a week or so.
I aslo run an aerator over the top each way to get oxygen and opening into the soil. Also, dont forget the lime and fertilizer, if you need it.
