Brome control in a tallgrass prairie

Has anyone else had problems in controlling brome grass in natural areas? I believe I have bromus inermis, and was wondering if there was a good management strategy to reduce or eradicate it completely. Someone told me an early application of Post should work, but I don't want to damage any of the natives in the process.

Any suggestions?
