I suspect you may have a problem with jim's climate.

It's a rare month indeed when transpiration exceeds precipitation.

I wouldn't know what to do with that. I just want to get wells dug that
make
enough water that I don't care if it rains.

Jim just want's field drains and ditches that can take it away quickly..

yes, I have land that I will not take cattle on between October and March,
even though I can silage it in May.
I do find it fascinating reading when everyone is discussing the advantages
of no-till and struggling to retain soil moisture, round here ploughing is
used to dry the land out a bit. You plough and let the sun and wind take
away some of the moisture so you can get a tilth.

Funny old world
