Kurt:

Were I a farmer (instead of just having more garden than I can 
realistically handle), I would not have one of these on my property unless 
there was some kind of grating 1 foot below the surface.  Children and 
small animals could easily drown in one of these.  Common wisdom will not 
allow even a five gallon bucket of water around toddlers, let alone an 8 
foot deep sump.
