We have miles and miles and miles of ditches here in southern Minnesota. There are actually many feet of large county tile in the picture, underground. I think they are 3-4 feet in size there. My farm has a county ditch splitting it in half, it goes 10 miles upstream from me.
We just have the prairie potholes, rolling ground, and a very heavy yellow and blue clay subsoil, water does not soak away. We have many miles of tile in the ground, 3-15 inch size, to funnel the water to the ditches.
We have been blasted with rain for three years now, this spring has been the worst, we just had a 'shower' go through again this morning, some got .56", some got over 3" in a 1/2 hour downpour. Where the pics were taken (some relatives 20 miles west of me) they got 2.3" of rain in less than an hour. Those ponds are all back and big as ever in the fields, some have been there 3 weeks, it's so wet it doesn't dry out.
Been terrible flooding southern Minnesota and northern Iowa, just terrible.
