Will oats germinate?

Will oats germinate if they are thrown out on top of the soil? I was in a hurry yesterday and mowed the plot twice, broadcasted the seed, and ran over it with the mower. It used to be part of a corn field so when I mowed I cleared everything out all the way to the dirt. There should be good contact with the dirt. I just didn't know if that would be enough.

They will germinate on a concrete block if they get the moisture needed. If they have soil contact they will set roots and grow. As long as the birds leave a few you will have a oat plot if you get enough moisture and a little sunshine.
