I planted hairy vetch in a very small test plot last year. We had a pretty cold winter here by Indiana standards and it survived the winter surprisingly well. I believe the recommended seeding rate is about 20#/ac drilled, 30#/ac broadcast. I would think either hairy vetch or crimson clover would work similar in improving tilth and organic matter production.
