I learned back in school that some areas in the Thumb region of Michigan lie below sea level, much like areas of Louisiana. The water is pumped out Spring and Fall for planting and harvest, and pumped in during growing season for plant needs. With four distinct soil types across our tiny 50 acre home place, we use tiling to make the wetter areas easier to farm. I would love to peel back the four feet of black muck down in the low spot, push in the sand and gravel from the nearby hill to grade them both, and cover it all in a foot of muck. One farmer nearby did just that on a farm for vegetables, and I heard he spent $5-6K per acre and a whole season to do so. Outside of my budget, plus there are all those grape plants on the hill, with posts and wires, etc. But it is fun to daydream while riding the mower, or such.
