soy just germinating being eaten by slugs

I have sown gardensoy in my raised bed (one 8ft row). Yesterday I noticed some of the seeds had started to come up so I took a closer look. It had just rained heavily and the ground was still wet. On the newly germinating soy I found many tiny slugs!! Imagine my disgust! I picked off what I could see, made cornmeal rings around each one and set a beer baited trap. I'm wondering how the additional seeds, not yet up, are faring. Do slugs eat seeds? Anything else I can do to stop them? Or just wait for dryer weather and reseed?
