Good Drainage System Vital to Good Farming
Town farmers facing drainage problems are urged to install or upgrade drainage systems this spring. Agricultural engineer C. J. Van Vinck notes drainage boosts land returns by 10 to 50 percent of installation costs, averaging about 20 percent, with systems lasting indefinitely when properly installed and maintained. Regular tile upkeep prevents root plugging and silt buildup, and farmers may add surface drainage if crop drowning persists, after consulting Soil Conservation Service or county extension staff.
