Both are irrelevant. You use brakes during a soft field landing unless
conditions, rare conditions, prohibit them.

Just the opposite. You don't use the brakes during a soft field landing
unless rare conditions require them. You typically will have all of the
deceleration you need from the drag of the wheels in the soft field.

Your practical experience doing this is? What's the length of the field?
Again, *most* of them are short (2500'). And most turf strips are firm
most of the time.
