Postbeetle- I would avoid switch grass unless that is all you want growing. It tends to be very aggressive and chokes out other vegetation over time. I would recomend big and little blue stem, canada rye and a mix of native forbs such as those Norm suggested. For a nurse crop try annual lespedeza and annual rye grass.

I'll start treating my wife as good as my dog when she starts retrieving ducks.
