I'm no farmer, but is seems to me that a field planted in grain won't have the distinctive furrows of other types of crops, such as corn or potatoes, and even some fruits, like strawberries or raspberries.
When fields are plowed, it's usually done in a manner that enhances drainage, where necessary, but also takes into consideration the shape of the field....if there's a railroad track curving past the field, chances are the plowing will either follow that curve, or, if that's not practical, there'll be unplowed areas at the curve which will usually have wild plants and small trees growing there, not related at all to the crop in the rest of the field.
I'm not familiar with those Walthers Scenemaster items, but I wonder, depending on the time of year you're modelling, if you might have better luck using a fairly long type of static "grass", in a colour suitable to the growing season.
Some photos of the area in question might elicit more useful responses.
