Smooth brome

I'm thinking about giving smooth brome a try and plant a field here in the next few weeks. I'm looking for a different option for a cool season grass than orchard grass. Hoping for something that might be more drought tolerant and persistent than orchard.

I'm not very familiar with smooth brome and was hoping someone could tell me a little more about it. How does it compare to orchard?
