Field Tiling / Tile Drainage Contracting

We take into consideration every part of your field tile drainage project from beginning to end. We are not your typical cookie cutter tile drainage company. We have multiple options for the solution that you need. We will Survey your land and decide on the most efficient and effective solution for your land. We will Design a plan (using state of the art technology) for Subsurface Drainage or Irrigation, or even both. We have options for Controlled Drainage and Lift Stations, depending on your needs. Your farm is our highest priority, and we desire to help you with profitability of your land.

Step 1: Survey

Topographic surveys lead to tile drainage solutions.

HDS offers comprehensive surveying. We do not use Radar data due to inaccuracies. A ground truth survey will be conducted using RTK or a LiDAR drone. RTK and LiDAR data results within 2cm – 10cm vertical accuracy.

In order to appraise the feasibility of a tile drainage project, a topographical survey must be conducted so we can further prepare a drainage plan in more detail.

Step 2: Design

Design Your Tile Drainage Plan

Once we have collected topographic/elevation data, we prepare a drainage plan. We combine several data packages such as, elevation data, soils maps, hydraulic conductivity, yield maps, and satellite imaging, to determine what type of system will yield the highest performance for each field.

Step 3: Implementation

Once we decide on the best plan for you, it will consist of one or both solutions for your land. Then we will decide if your land also needs Controlled Water Management or Lift Stations. Below, give a short snap shot of each one.

Sub Surface Drainage

For those with too much water or soils that strongly retain moisture, sub-surface drainage systems can optimize crop root depth and provide control of your field’s water table, leading to significant yield improvements of more than 30% in the first year.

Tiling is a process that has been around for centuries. The process of tiling can provide major benefits for farmers and their crops. Below is a list of major benefits of tiling:

• More consistent yields, which will allow for efficient use of resources
• Reduced financial risk
• Earlier and more timely planting
• Improved harvesting conditions
• Less wear and tear on equipment
• Less power required for field operators
• Better plant stand
• Less plant stress
• Fewer plant diseases
• Less soil compaction

Sub Surface Irrigation

AGREM Subirrigation Systems combine the advantages of tile drainage with sub surface irrigation. Beyond draining your fields in the Spring and Fall and eliminating wet spots, AGREM Subirrigation Systems allow you to evenly apply water to your crops during the growing season. The added benefits of reduced labor costs in irrigating, low maintenance and repair costs, and little to no replacement costs only add to the superiority of AGREM Subirrigation Systems over conventional irrigation systems.

AGREM LLC is focused on providing you the best options for your field for water management. From the initial survey to installation, our goal is to provide you with multiple options on water management so you can decide what is best for you and your field. We further offer the most advanced water management designs in the market today, allowing you options that you may have never realized you had before.

Controlled Drainage

AGREM designs controlled drainage systems to effectively manage your water table regardless of your fields topography. By using multiple control gates dividing a field into elevation zones, AGREM controlled drainage systems are the best means to block nutrient runoff and conserve natural precipitation during the growing season. These systems are further able to be upgraded into subirrigation systems.

• Designed on the contour
• Ability to control water table heights within zones
• Multiple elevation zones allowing control over entire field
• Retains natural precipitation
• Reduced nutrient runoff
• Can be upgraded into an AGREM subirrigation system

Lift Stations

A Lift Station may be your only option if:

• The outlet ditch is too shallow
• The outlet ditch stay full for several days after a large rain
• The amount of water that leaves the field needs to be controlled
• Water elevation is controlled by a culvert
• The field is too flat, where laterals can’t get enough grade for proper drainage
