I'm assuming they intended to reuse it at some point. Or maybe capping it was fine 30 years ago. Or maybe they used it for irrigation like someone else said because this was an old peach orchard and asparagus farm. Anyhow, it doesn't sound like it needs to be filled.
From michigan.gov: "If a well is going to be used in the future, but is temporarily taken out of service at the time a replacement well is installed, it must be securely sealed and must comply with all current isolation and construction requirements."
