Might want to research your local laws. IIRC Michigan law had some features that forced the county and state to be a little more active on drain maintenance and my limited exposure to Wisconsin law indicates they too have similar laws. One that come to mind was diminished value on property taxes if drains weren't maintained. This became effective two ways first through a property tax appeal, meaning you challenged the accessed value of your property based on the fact the non-functioning drain limits the productivity of the land and thus diminishes it's value. There was also an appeal/ legal process where you could sue the State/County/Town if a feature they built and are supposed to maintain limits or impedes drainage and get a cash reward if they don't correct the problem. We dealt with both of them on our farm as the road came across a swamp/drain and the culvert under the road was to high, not large enough to carry adequate volume during the spring thaw and rains and the culvert often became plugged. When it got plugged between our place and the neighbors their would be 30-40 acres flooded. First time we appealed the taxes they were right out to clean the culvert. Second time they installed a larger culvert at a lower level, that fixed the problem, the road didn't flood after that either.

I soon found that it would be very useful to have a tractor around the place for things such as grading our long drive and brush-hogging the fields. I was also embarking on planting 1000 eucalyptus trees, and hence I would need a ripper, small disk plow, sprayer etc. to get these things accompli
