A question for the farmers?

I have noticed that alot of farms around Thunder Bay have Huge Rolls of what looks like to me to be weeping tile pipes.. The big black rolls are scattered around the fields???

It's called "tiling"... They take a dozer and use a giant breaking plow and go the lenght of the field up and back. 30 some feet apart.
Put a pump at the end and pump the water out in to the ditches...
Similiar to drain tile around your houses. Makes wet farm ground able to get a crop out of it.
Some people are against it because they feel it causes flooding down the line. The argument is that science says it doesn't. I don't know for sure???
