Use fan bones ... (scnr)
Well, if you want this, you have to do it. You could possibly group some stuff, as not to have a separate bone for each blade of grass. Maybe there's a solution with particles, I don't know.
But I'd suggest to test first if you really need all that. There's a saying among actors, "Don't limp on every step. Limp every three steps, so the audience remembers." The same goes for animation. I remember having seen some anime where the effect of overall windyness was achieved by just animating some tips of grass on a uniformly green area, or just one branch waving in front of an otherwise stiff tree. Clever staging helps a lot.
