Rye is cheap and a fast grower. You need to get it cut quick in the spring or it can get away from you. Also are your going to plow it down or spray it/plant? It all makes a difference. Alfalfa is a expensive crop to seed down. So it would more for year of hay in the future.
Some thing I have done that works well is to seed spring Oats and clover now. The oats will grow pretty fast but will winter kill. The clover will fix nitrogen and hold it for the next crop. I just used clean feed oats not seed oats for cover crop. You would not need certified oats for a cover crop.
Whatever you seed make sure it is clean from weed seeds. Guys around here got grass seed out of the Texas and Oklahoma last year for CRP an the majority of it had weed seeds in it. The worst being Palmer amaranth. In tested seed samples it was found in just about all of them even thought they were labeled weed free. So much of the CRP seeded down last year has had to be sprayed repeatedly this year to try and control Palmer amaranth. The CRP ground that has not been sprayed is looking bad and that will make a seed bank to spread all over.

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
