In my opinion if you are going to terminate and plant the corn about May 1st again I wouldn't bother adding a legume. Radishes die over the winter and won't provide any spring grazing. Clovers would over winter but the rye will over green up much sooner and shade them so you won't have much growth by May 1st. Personally I think sticking with straight rye fits what you are doing and gets you the most tonnage.
