To help ensure you’re making the best possible decision for your land, here are some benefits of having a drainage system from Agassiz Drain Tile:
Drainage systems remove excess water that hampers soil warm-up in the spring. Having consistent water table levels throughout the growing season will allow faster, more consistent plant growth for quicker harvest start-ups in the fall. This is particularly important when using no-till or conservation tillage practices.
The removal of excess moisture ensures continued root growth for better production when moisture is scarce. Plants also become less susceptible to disease as water tables become more under control.
The proper balance of moisture, oxygen and organic matter can more readily be achieved and maintained through proper system drainage. Fertilizers become more usable under these conditions, and unnecessary run-off is decreased.
Removal of excess moisture increases and promotes bacterial action in the soil, leading to increased yields.
System drainage will show some of the greatest benefits in areas of persistent excess moisture problems, transforming some of your least productive land into performance fields.
Your production costs will decrease through better usage of inputs from your field management plan. Wear on equipment will also decrease as the drainage system helps improve the structure of your soils.
Having a well-drained field is extremely valuable. The investment you make into a drainage system is reflected in the land valuation. Typically, the land increases in value by the cost of the drainage system.
With excess moisture removed, the oxygen balance of your fields reaches proper levels, promoting plant growth.
System drainage represents greater production. It’s the final step for today’s top producers to bring fields up to their full capabilities, and it’s the only agricultural investment that will pay for itself every year.
