Wanted to try and improve the quality of some existing grass in a field for first cutting. Someone local suggested over seeding some ryegrass and running a chain harrow over it. They say it has worked for them. Never have done ryegrass so I have no experience. This field had some Triticale drilled into it in the fall but I think the drought got it. Looking for ideas to get better hay than what fescue is left in it. Field has had a nutsedge problem and do not want to do a permanent reseeding until I get the nutsedge under control.
Does overseeding Ryegrass work?

Imho, in our area it's about like peaches. Everything lines up just right, and you have a harvest. Most of the time, something beats you out of it. I try a little almost every year. Can't beat it, on the year it works. Total disaster on the years it doesn't.
My best luck has been broadcasting when I absolutely knew it was going to rain. Hard to drill it, because it's easy to cover to deep.
