In Reply to: Drain tile does help posted by onefarmer on July 15, 2015 at 17:53:25:
In 2008 we got a lot of rain in a very short time. There was about 3 inches up against basement window. When the water went down I had corn stocks in the yard. You can see the neighbor's 40 acre field sloped toward my house. Even the yard slopes toward the house.
One acre-inch 1 acre-inch = 27,154.285 gallons [US, liquid]. We had about 10 inches of rain in 24 hours. Putting field tile around my house wouldn't do very much good with that many gallons. Your pic proves my point too. There is only so much good tile can do.
I spent many days removing flowers from around house, boss wasn't happy at the time. Angled dirt, so water runs away from house.

A lot of water flows over the hill. All my ditches are grass covered and can be mowed, basement stays dry.

How did I get this way? I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
