Grandpa Love, We have a lot of heavy, black soil with clay up here in the Midwest. Tiling helps drain the water away so the land can be 'worked' sooner in the season.
Before we tiled our land... some years there would be a wet spot or two that my husband would have to plant around. If large enough, maybe plant it later - if a small spot, just let 'er buck and not plant that spot.
We went ahead and tiled our land too, when some neighbors were tiling their land - for two reasons:
1. If we did not join them, they'd put a "force" so many feet away from their side of the property line - which would create a wet spot for them; BUT our farm being lower than their land, meant that we'd have had all their water running over the property line and across our field.
2. Tiling makes it so you can do tillage and planting earlier in the season - and if you wish to rent-out your land, it really needs to be tiled. Those who farm larger amounts of land need to get in early and get 'er done... both during spring planting and during fall harvest. (And they don't want to work around wet spots at either time of year.)

Today's Featured Article - Tractor Hydraulics - The Basics - by Curtis Von Fange. Hydraulics was one of the greatest inventions for helping man compound the work he can do. It’s amazing how a little floor jack can lift tons and tons of weight with just the flick of a handle. What’s even more amazing is that all the principals of hydraulic theory can be wrapped up in such a small package. This same package applies to any hydraulic system from the largest bulldozer to the oldest and smallest tractor. This short series will take a look at the basic layout of a simple hydraul
