Been a wet year here and seems like some areas really stay wet longer than normal. Would compaction be causing this? Always wondered if you ran a subsoiler thru these areas if it would help them drain better. Would a subsoiler tear up sod too bad?

Almost too much to answer with.
Land is tiled or not? Not
Land is clay or not? Not much clay but some areas are.
Land is low lying or not? A lot of it is low lying but some of it is hill ground.
The possibilities are endless.
Tearing up the ground will not likely help the drainage unless you are on hard pan.
You have wet ground then you need to be happy - many are crying for rain. Maybe the last 2 years of droughts made me forgt about these wet areas being there, but they some worse in some of the higher ground and not as bad in some of the low spots. Made some tracks on top of a hill yesterday mowing while not making some on the low ground.
Might be real different next year.
Tell us more - but I never recommend ripping ground - it does not really make drainage improvements
