Grass can be long, short and even cut grass is a possible
problem since it can be trapped inside of wheel pants.

Watched a friend's RV-6 head for the corn and go tail up after the left
wheel pant filled with cut grass and grab the wheel. Be very carefull if
you have tight fitting wheel pants and operate of a freshly cut grass
strip where the grass was long before cutting.
The incident required a year to rebuild the aircraft. New wood prop,
engine teardown and rebuild, rebuild the lower cowl, new wheel pant.
