1. Wet-Holes and Examples of Areas of Non-Arable Land at The Tillsonburg Airport

2. The Drainage Problems:
Forced us to try and combat the problem by planting a different crop than we had originally intended, as alfalfa would surely die in areas of high water.
After spraying and spreading fertilizer, we were unable to plant different areas as they were too wet. Fertilizer was wasted.
Unable to access different areas of land entirely, all season.
Harvesting significantly delayed as we tried to wait for the land to dry.

3. AREAS OF NON-ARABLE ACRES
Example of many areas of wet spots (frozen ice ponds seen here) intertwined with arable acres. Only the wet spots were included as non-arable acres, although navigating arable acres to plant and harvest was difficult.
Areas that were not accessible or able to
be planted flowing into areas that could
then not be harvested.

4. AREAS OF NON-ARABLE ACRES
Land still not even close to dry enough
to work. Note depth of water. No crop
has grown here.
Another area of non-arable land that
resembles a pond.

5. AREAS OF NON-ARABLE LAND
Already sparse area due to standing water,
now flooded and cannot be harvested. The
combine must work around this large area.
Bean field. No crop grew here. Still
water laden as seen by frozen pond.

Water level almost to top of ditch. Not flowing.
Blockages in the ditches, impeding
water flow

16. PHOTO OF DAMAGE CAUSED BY EXCAVATOR
See the water coming up through the snow in the tracks of the ATV. Also, very little crop growing in this area, as it is commonly flooded.
Unsure why driving through middle of the
field. The beans that are laying down are
crushed and fall from the pod, rot, are not
picked up by the header.
