My heart dropped when you fell to the water while having dude in your arms lysm Blake

[@dalekline3612]

Weeping willow trees are good for wet areas. I live in PA and have some planted in low areas on my ground. Plus once you get one started, all you need to do is cut a branch off and stick it right in the ground and it will grow. You can get a lot of trees from just one.

[@karbear26]

I was thinking the same thing weeping willows suck up a lot of water!

[@yanjijay6752]

Nay that's not cold when there's no snow yet 😂🤣 plus it's been snowing for 2 days sucks, but as always what an awesome farm

[@creeker81]

Put those native mangrove trees in the ditch to suck up water!!! Or swamp cedar

[@thewaterwarrior9817]

True

[@williamblalock270]

I love your Ranch Blake your living my dream life especially your fish building. Hope the water drops soon for all your animals

[@brookeweinland7040]

Man Blake you've had bad luck with flooding. I'd say put tile drainage pipe in under the ground and let it run out somewhere. Hopefully things get better soon. Here in ohio our farmers use tile which is like drainage pipe under the ground and water runs through the pipes and out to the ditches. It keeps the fields from flooding.

[@jessicawhite2531]

We use that for cattle yards here in Iowa.

[@CapeFearKoi]

It’s been a rough year for your each with the flooding this year. Hope it all dries out.

[@tammyschultz3318]

The drainage is a woww problem for sure. If everything from the far side of property slops towards the water logged area, youll have to put some of that dirty in the other areas to, because if you put to much drit behind the goat shed the natural flow of the yard will build up and flood the other area. Can dig and put those big black drainage lines along the back fence al the way to the road into drainage. can put one down the path of the capibara (cant spell that) pathway to the back of the property line and hook it to the other one. Just alot of digging. Id say bring the dirt to the far other opposite end and raise and slop just a bit to the back of the property and do your drainage like you said.. it will definitely help.. the turtle area can raise it so the water slops to the front of their enclosures so it can then follow>>>> and keep draining.

[@cindythomas2116]

Blake put proper drain system in don’t bog it as your have same problems in the Future..

[@Jesseusenich]

Good idea

[@dadzawa_actual]

He explained it near the beginning. One of the neighbors decided they want 'dry land all the time' so they brought in dirt and have made the previous natural flow disrupted and three neighboring properties flood. Having a good draining system won't combat arrogance and selfishness.

Baobab trees suck up a TON of water and produce edible fruits that could be useful. Retention pond with added dirt to elevate parts of the yard would be highly recommended as well. Mangrove trees could help but they are better at covert salt water than retaining or sucking up fresh water.
