If farmland is wetland and farmland is important for preserving non-drainage, or slowing down drainage, why would you support this idea that farmland drainage should not be subject to any kind of oversight? That's what was suggested by my colleague, under the act, that drainage ditches aren't all that important, cleaning them out.... But if you multiply that by 100,000 farms, all doing a little bit to increase their drainage, wouldn't that amount to quite an important problem in your district?
