Not sure what species you're identifying as "field mice", but realize that many bird species can contribute to removal of high-value seeds such as those you mention. I would recommend covering your beds with either rigid hardware cloth or tightly stretched (taut) bird netting to exclude any of the potential seed-nappers until your seeds can get started.
