If there is a place for drainage, I'd look at putting in a drain field. Very common around here. Around here they use flexible poly pipe that is perforated. Installed like buried cable. No major field work and is laid using a field size laser level that controls the depth and slope of the pipe.

PNW is where most grass seed is grown. Burning the field after harvest is very common practice. Weeds are not tolerated and if burning promoted weed growth the practice wouldn't fly around here.
