W.Brehm, That's a whole other thread there. Your exactly right.
I had the county engineers, corp of engineers, flood control, and surveyors, out before I ever started cleaning up. I had to get "permission" to clean up my own land.
I pulled a "dirt permit" so I could fill the ravines above the flood, Got permission and pulled a "developmental permit" to move dirt around in the flood and fill lower end of the ravines. This is AFTER I cleaned them out. They wouldn't let me just cover the crap up.
The very 1st day here comes the Sheriff Deputy. Environmental control officer. Seems some one called in saying I was dumping. That went very well as it was plain I was cleaning up.
About 6 months later I started having dirt hauled. No charge as they were doing road work. I committed to 100 loads. About 60 loads into it here comes the County Flood guy and shut us down. Mind you I had my ducks in a row. Surveyors report, flood line marked, permits etc. It took about a week for him to figure out he had screwed up and apologized. Mean time the other 40 loads I wanted went somewhere else. I had to pay my dozer guy his full fee as it wasn't his problem we got shut down.

The discussion started out with the following post: "I was about 14 (part of the problem) when I got stuck. I was disking with a cab equipped IH 966. The window was dirty and I was driving into the evening sun. It was hard to see and it was my first pass down the field. I got the tractor so stuck that the underside of the tractor was resting on the ground. My uncle wanted
