Yes it is the correct grass.
What this means is it is 97.8 rye grass.
some other crop seed was found in it and a wee bit of weed seed.
The inert matter is chaff dust or what ever.
My cousins grow something like 99. something % pure wheat seed.

Here is what rye grass will do here in where I live.
Sow in the fall let it sprout and mow it in the winter.
If you keep mowing it this delays the seed heads from forming and soon it will git so hot it will die back.
I think I planted closes to 100 pounds of it on 1 acre of land.
Now the stuff is everywhere.
It really has done a good job of smothering out bad weeds.
Here is some more helpful information.
If you are going no till you need to get a good Eye hoe or grape hoe.
I cannot express to you all how much better these are compared to the light weight junk they call a hoe.
This is the best way I can compare them.
Drinking muddy fish water and spring water.
Going no till means you will have to invest in good old school garden tools and it wont be a chore anymore.
Even the little garden space can be shaved down with it in no time without a line trimmer.
