I would tell you that you were nuts, because the Right to Farm Act in Michigan protects us, right? Afraid not! At least not in our township. I am looking at a potential lawsuit with the township over the right to put up my pole barn to house the equipment I leave on the place. Claim they have ordinances prohibiting a barn on property that is zoned for agricultural use only unless you put up a house on the property and actually live on it. Currently I have a couple options. (1) Leave a lot of expensive equipment out in the weather or (2) drive the equipment back and forth 20 miles on busy roads at considerable risk or (3) hire a lawyer to enforce RTF Act. SO, you may be right about the tiling. Our NATURAL watershed is into the back of the property next door. There is a large low area...no open water or marsh land...which collects all the water and eventually feeds it into a drain back in the woods. We shed a lot of water into that system as we are higher. I would bet once I tiled and ran it into that area they would be all over me. Even though the entire mile of road in front has ditches running right into the front yard of the same place thence into the back. I think I will deal with them on the barn first...then tackle the drainage. :)
IF I tile I would likely run it into a low area in the center of my property and then let it overflow across the center of the SE field the way it does now in the natural system. It would leave me with a wet strip across that field but at least it would be the same natural watershed action.

Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
