Last spring I was spreading fertilizer on my brome field while it was to wet and soft. February can be that way here in south central Kansas. My field is pretty rough now due to tractor tire tracks. it's not that big of a deal but when I was spraying for weeds the booms were bouncing all over the place and I was afraid I would tear it up. Is there a good way to smooth the field without ruining the brome stand. I was thinking of using a spring tooth set very shallow and running across the ruts but it took me three years to get a good stand in the first place and I don't want to start over.

I have saw people use large rollers in fields in the spring after the ground thaws

Isn't much you can do that won't ruin the brome. Just leave it alone, the freezing and thawing action this winter will help it some, and it will be even better the year after that.

Yes,

That's all you can do. Haying traffic will have a smoothin' effect on it too.

If you try to correct the situation, as much as I hate Brome grass, you are gonna inflect damage on your crop.
