Check in Grasses, Pastures, and Hay section. I posted a few days ago about crab grass with some pics.

Yes, it does well here. You do need to let it go to seed in the early fall. The Noble Foundation recommended letting it go to seed in late August or September. Then lightly disk to plant rye or ryegrass. Disturbing the ground planted next year's crabgrass crop.
