[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 190202, member: 3373"] I referenced feedlots in a previous post and had no intention of blaming them. Some may cause a problem but the few I am familiar with and near a water drainage are frequently required to clean the lot of what is mostly cow manure as cows are the most prevalent in a feedlot. (Did see a horse feedlot in Canada once.) 100 years ago (I'm assuming as I wasn't here 100 years ago) problems such as these wasn't much of an issue. Eventually someone discovered that you can drain that slough for more cropland, you can install drain tile around your house to prevent water in your basement, you can install drain tile in your entire field to take care or excess moisture. It all eventually can cause a problem for someone else. As I once heard "If it's a lake, man will try to drain it, if it's a free-flowing river, man will dam it." It all goes back to being a good neighbor. [/QUOTE]
