In s.WI black medic seems to establish itself as a weed pretty easily, in crop fields.

I saw an article, several years back, about corn growers in IA using black medic(a legume) as a cover crop in no-till corn. Seemed to work well in suppressing undesirable weed growth, grew well in the shade of the corn, and the additional nitrogen fixation was a plus.
