John D,
I am going to guess whoever wrote that article did very little research on the people that do tiling, I was talking to a farmer who had some tiling done recently and he got a GPS map of where the tile was laid. I will go out on a limb and say nearly all commercial tiling outfits have the same technology. I will grant you that the larger farms with thier own rig may not have this equipment.
I am also wondering if you have ever farmed around wet spots in the spring when there was an abundance of moisture. Here in MN last spring it was especially wet and the storm the article talked about was definitly an exception. The Taxes on swampland went up 50% here due to the people fron the Cities buying it for hunting( a whole additional subject). They pay way too much for it, I have heard of someone offering 2000 an acre for 40 acres of lower ground along a lake just so he could be the only boater on the lake. The DNR doesn't allow boats on this lake as they use it for a nursery for walleye fingerlings. You can buy good farmland for half of that but in good years we get over 100 bu corn. It would almost be worth tiling our swampland and farm it. BTW I am not one of those "sunnys whose daddy gave them the deed to the farm" I will be working for at least 10 more years before Dad is ready to sell and retire. Everything I own (not much) I have paid cash for and most of it was earned by working off the farm. Sorry for the long rant

It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he rea
