How do you best germinate/sow yellow rattle seed for the best results?

Extract from Wikipedia:

"The seeds are spread very effectively by traditional hay-making practices.
It can be cultivated by scarifying the surface of the ground with a fork or
similar, then sowing onto short grass, 0.5 to 1 gram of seed per square
metre. Yellow Rattle seed is short-lived and should always be sown in the
autumn, using seed harvested that year. Then, keep grass short for beginning
of March when seedlings establish. Thereafter, the grass should not be cut
until the end of July to allow the Yellow Rattle to flower and go to seed,
then cut short".
