Very informative! Do you ever have problems with the pipes plugging with soil/debris? Is there a way to periodically run pressurized water through them to keep them flowing?
I'm city born and raised so I don't know anything about farming except what I learn from farmers on you tube. It seems like you are laying a LOT of tile, is there a formula that you use to decide how much and where?
From the perspective of a fledgling farmland owner in the midst of having a second project done, it seems as if each field has its own characteristics and challenges. A project is tailored to the lay of the land and the exit options for the water. Discussing designs with the contractor can be a lot of fun ... almost like a board game.
Hello Carson, thanks for the video. With this drainage in the fields don't you get to dry spots/lines in the field? Grtz from the Netherlands and God bless.
Here in the Netherlands it drains so much water that in dry periods the crops are suffering from too little water. At your farm it is only excess water I understand from your answer.
Doing research here on behalf of my neighboring Farmers. We're fighting a huge solar installation. If tiles are damaged and broken, what can happen to the field and to surrounding residential properties that are on well water and septic systems?
There are many variables that go into play. When a tile is broken the water will back up behind it. If a septic system is hooked up to the tile it will back up eventually. Don't know how it would affect wells.
Plants free of water deficit events more efficiently absorb available plant nutrients enabling plants to achieve their maximum genetic potential. SWRT membranes installed below plant root systems retain water where it falls, providing continuous delivery of drought-free periods up to 3 times longer than intensely irrigated control sands without root zone water retention membranes (Guber et al, 2016).
The mains are really expensive, they can cost a $1000 to $2000 an acre. The main that we were ruling into on this farm was probably 100 years old. To do the rest of it costs from $300 to $1000 an acre depending on if you have it custom installed, the lay of the land, and how close your tile spacing are. Frost is the worst thing for cement and clay tile. The first plastic tile was put in 45 years ago and is still being used. We plan on it being a once in a lifetime investment
Improving the quality of your fields is a great thing.
My dad always says that not many investments make money, however tile almost always will!
Really cool video. Never knew that you put drains in farm fields, makes sense, but never thought about it as a non farmer.
Holy cow that was great!!! Great music,great shots, funny as hell. Bloopers too. I love bloopers. Dude you should do more videos.
Stumbled across your channel and am loving the content. Good job, great editing, great quality. Keep it up
Extremely informative video. Glad you made it to show how good drainage works.
Great vid. That tile plough and tractor are beasts.
Thankyou!
Right, takes a lot to plow that deep even in a wet field.
Great video ! Carson you always do such great quality . Great Falls,Mt.
Great explanation of how it works!
Hi, EXCELLENT presentation and content. One of the best I have visited. Cheers JP
Great video! Did tiling in Wright Co, IA.
You are doing a great job! Loving the videos! 😃
Very informative! Do you ever have problems with the pipes plugging with soil/debris? Is there a way to periodically run pressurized water through them to keep them flowing?
Thanks boss
This is way cool
Can you show the discharge this show it working?
Wondering how long before you hook up your runs to the main? Water sometimes can begin running asap ☺️
we hook up to the mains as the tile plow is plowing in the run!
Homie change the music😂
I thought tiling used to help retain water in dry areas? can you use tiling to KEEP an area wet?

Killer video!! Do the pipes ever clog since there is no rock or fabric?
Very rarely, our soil is so heavy it usually only clogs when there is a broken tile
Cool vid 👍👍👍😃😃😃
Thanks!
Great vid
Thankyou!
Nice

Not quite for sure what you are asking, it basically just removes excess water
Here in the Netherlands it drains so much water that in dry periods the crops are suffering from too little water. At your farm it is only excess water I understand from your answer.

How do you like using the two track for pulling the plow?
Love it! They work very well especially if you have a swinging drawbar
You don't know, what you don't, know. I thought drain tile was crushed rock or a ditch.....now I know.
Did this land used to be Clay?!
What is the cost of this to a field? How long will a tile last ?
The mains are really expensive, they can cost a $1000 to $2000 an acre. The main that we were ruling into on this farm was probably 100 years old.

@@6thGenFarmer Wouldn't silt get into the holes of the plastic tile eventually, clogging it up?
i installed drainage field system in 1980 and it still runs the same today as when it was installed
