Baton Rouge Metro (home base) is served by air carriers and have the full array
of crash/fire/rescue equipment.

Indeed, even though I hadnt declared an emergency, the ATC declared an
emergency for me (?), alerted the crash trucks, etc.

The decision to divert to the grass strip was two-fold:

1. It was closer

2. The closer I got to BRMetro, the more subdivisions/fewer cow pastures there
were.
