Benefits of Drain Tile

Maximizes Yields with Proper Subsurface Drainage

Subsurface tile drainage is an essential water management practice in highly productive fields throughout the United States and the world. Many soils have poor natural internal drainage. Without drain tile, these soils would remain waterlogged for days after excessive rain. This prolonged wetness prevents timely fieldwork and stresses the growing crops.

Acre Nexus specializes in designing effective subsurface drainage systems for states in the Upper Midwest. We have over 25 years of experience in the field, and we're here to help you design a drain tile system that works. Call us today to learn more.

What Does Good Drainage Do for You?

The following are benefits of a properly designed drain tile system:

• Minimizes high water table stress on growing crops
• Minimizes soil compaction
• Reduces wear and tear on equipment
• Reduces salt buildup
• Improves yield consistency from year to year
• Allows for more consistent no-till production
• Helps manage soil moisture capacity, thereby reducing soil erosion
• Helps maintain waterways
• Ensures timely planting and field operations
• Promotes good conditions for proper seedbed establishment and germination

Do You Need Better Drainage in Your Fields?

Some fields need an engineered drainage system more than others. Soil conditions that make drainage a necessity for some agricultural fields include the following:

• Dense layers of soil that restrict water flow
• Poor surface drainage
• Flat and depressed topography
• High salt levels at the surface

A properly designed, installed, and maintained drain tile system yields a long-term investment for years. With input prices constantly rising, make today the day you invest in tiling and reap the rewards from those pricey inputs. Due to the limited quantity of farmland, it's crucial to invest wisely with a partner you trust. Contact Acre Nexus today!
