What where the planting conditons??? Was the covered ground wetter, causing planting problems, sidewall compaction, not getting seed covered? It the cover crop died over winter I doubt it would be moisture, but it could be. I often say that we live off the moisture we get in the fall, winter. I often say cover crops can hurt yields, but i am suprised to see this since the cover crop winter killed. Maybe nutrient tie up???
