I could go up on samples for another render at this res, but I plan to
render it at 5100x3400 for a poster and I think at that res it won't
matter as much; besides, the render time will already be through the
roof for a poster.

The slight bands are some sort of aliasing artifacts or something to do
with the lighting in the narrow spaces inside the grass.  The same
effect, but much worse, is visible in
http://davidf.faricy.net/renders/autumn.jpg which uses Gilles Tran's
grass macro.
