You only have to go a few miles to find different types of soil in Vigo county.
West of Wabash river is stick to the shovel clay. You'll find old brick factories where they used the clay to make very hard brick. Factories have been closed for many years.
On the other side of river on north end of country is a black sandy soil that doesn't hold water after it rains. You can drive on your lawn and do little damage.
South end of country east of river the garden turns into mud after a rain, sticks to tires. A few days later soil drys became about 30 inches below is yellow sand and gravel. Some day this party of country will be a lake because we have a large sand and gravel company.
Now for the soil at friends 10 acre horse ranch at the north east part of county. They call this area Sand Cut. The high ground is yellow sand. The lower ground is black dirt that turns into mud and stays mud for a long time.

His horses need water wings. His water level is about 10 ft. He has a ditch on north side of property.
How much good would tile do to drain muck? You can remove a foot of mud and soil isn't muddy.
I'm thinking only solution is angle dirt to make rain go to ditch.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule.
