Didn’t want to hijack the thread about toads.
A wealthy land owner had me to do unrelated work on a property that he had previously joined up with Ducks Unlimited on. Long, wide levees were built all around the perimeters with the idea that this would cause the land to hold water year round. I was amazed at the amount of dirt, fuel, machinery and man hours this required. This was no small project in size or cost.
The levees didn’t work as designed. Despite all the rainfall all it did was keep the property moist but not flooded.
So my question is, Did the landowner have to pay for all this levee construction himself? Other than trying to provide duck habitat, was there supposed to be a tax benefit?
It just boggles my mind to see such an expensive project that appeared to be a complete waste.
