RR Valley, ND; MN native | I and my sister ,have some land that is rented out and last year; the neighbor had beets for the sugar plant on a bordering field. Renter was just messaged me that it appears the access road to my land that borders said nieghbors beet field has drifts of dirt on it. Could make for a problem in the next month if its deep. Too muddy around yet to drive out to see for sure I guess.
I get the idea that if we need to have someone with equipment clear the road, getting any compensation out of those neighbors will be a problem...
Is this (dirt erosion) not mitigated any better? Where I live, there are also some beet fields around and I have seen dirt in the road ditch at times in the spring and they had to use a scraper to pull at least some of it back into the field. This being on the county highway here so I expect they (the county) has more "pull" than some absentee landlord like me.
Years back when I was growing up everybody moldboard plowed and soil drifting in the winter was a lot more common. "Snirt" drifts around the farm yard and the road ditch pretty common but the description I am getting of this incident from the nearby beet field seems a lot worse than that. | |
