I’ve been in business draining farmland for 45 years. (yes, I’m a ditchdigger)

Only so much you can do when it rains every other day.

The ground is simply saturated right now, even in field that are now grid tiled every 30 feet. Even pumping wouldn’t alleviate that when it rains every other day. The topsoil never gets a chance to dry, let alone the subsurface

You’d go about the length of the tractor into the field before you’d be stuck
