Cover Crop - Water way cover Cereal Rye

I'm in East Central Nebraska and it is drying out nicely ... With another warm weather week and No moisture. We are thinking about Getting the disk out and plant Some Cover Rye on some of our wash outs....

Has anyone done this or tried it in the spring ?? Is it worth trying?

We've done it in the fall and had great luck . Wondering if it would work just as well or not in the spring.....? Thanks

Yea, im just south of York, it will work. Only question I have is why stop at just rye and the washouts, been fall/spring seeding/ spreading covers for years, seeing huge increase in organic matter and soil aggregate, many legumes giving me nitrogen credits, some spring cover mixes (if planted early enough) can be burned down before planting and utilized as nutrient storage... Helpswith corn stub...
