Springtime focus on farm drainage boosts profits
University of Maryland extension engineer C P Merrick urges farming communities to study drainage in spring to spot trouble spots and plan improvements. He notes cropland can yield 50 to 100 percent more with proper drainage and recommends engineering help from county extension offices or the Soil Conservation Service. Financial aid is available through Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Committees for ditch and tile drain construction.
