Installing Farm Drain Tile to Prevent Erosion! I spent the day with Big Stone Ag Service in Clinton, MN and learned how they use drainage tile to prevent erosion and benefit the environment. Drain tile is used to keep phosphorous and nitrates out of our water system, and keep them in the fields!

THIS BY FAR IS YOUR BEST VIDEO YET,Very interesting,how technology has come,gps guidance,that machine that trenches and lays tile has serious power,we farmed some ground that had old school 1ft long clay tiles,holes went to the bottom,repairing them OMG,what an adventure that was,THANKS FOR BEING OUT IN COLD RAINY AND WINDY DAY TO MAKE YHIS VIDEO,freezing rain and wind,colder than a snowing windy day

michael heinen Thank you, that's a great compliment!

@tonto8069 6 лет назад

I have been driving to Indiana for a year now from NY and seeing these machines working in the fields and couldn't imagine what they were doing. I thought it might have been irrigation. You have by far the best and most informative videos on you tube. I have yet to not learn something on every video. You present it in a way everyone can understand. That new logo is awesome. Keep up the good work.

Hey zack.... my mother and I watch your videos every chance we get. Your a great teacher and my only request is to tell you to try not deleting or giving up on videos you think may not be terribly interesting. We enjoy learning all the inner workings of a big farm. We are 2 non farmers from southwest pa.

Charles Yothers Jr Thank you, I appreciate it!!

@teamstr259 4 года назад

I agree completely. I am a truck driver in the North East. I don't know the first thing about farming but i love watching anything with equipment working. I'd like to think i am learning a lot from your videos and both podcasts! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos.

@geoffcloutier2160 6 лет назад

I did this in the summer fall and winter of 2016. Being a greenhorn, I was stuck with being a swamper, the guy who climbs in and out of the ditch all day to connect the laterals and t-junctions. Very hard work. Finally they trained me on the tractor so I could string out the pipe. Little did I know, that's some hard work too! Good video. Peace!

@garlandremingtoniii4679 6 лет назад

Excellent. Truly outstanding!! Todd Wickerly of Wickerly Farms over right outside of Hurdsfield North Dakota did to 29, 689 acres the last 2 years. I ran one of 5 trenchers night and day. My God My God. I loved it as much as I do pulling grain buggy. With one of 6 of the Cat Challenger 900 E series Tractors. 600 HP articulates

@archeodigger 6 лет назад

Fascinating and awesome step in the right direction. Most folks don't remember the dust bowl days back in the 30's and how important it is to control soil erosion. This farmer may only be gaining 1/2 an acre of field but in viewing the bigger picture if most of the farmers in any given area were employing this method, the benefits are huge. Thanks so much for sharing.

@patladage9393 4 года назад

This fellow farmer really appreciates what you are doing trying to educate non farmers are how serious soil conservation is. Your dialog and video are worth 10,000 words

@bbye84ify 6 лет назад

@arthura.applegatejr.7145 2 года назад

I don’t know if you will see my comment ,but back in the late 1940’s and early’50s my dad and a crew of migrant workers tiled 245 acres of our farm by hand. Shovels, string levels and backs‼️ And now some of the best potato growing land in the north east is big industrial parks and housing developments ‼️ I truly miss it ‼️

@VernL4 3 года назад

My grandpa installed field tile with an old Spiker tile machine. I learned how to drive when I was 6- I spent some time with him that summer and I was running the backhoe backfilling the trench after the tile had been placed. Thank you for sharing this video!

@imgone52 6 лет назад

Well done. Good information for the non-farmer as to why the tile is needed.

@ChrisPlatt9740 5 лет назад

Great videos! Many people will get a great education on farming, especially the young ones. Most of my family members were into farming while I was going up. here in the south. Man, it has come along way since the 50s-80s. Keep up the great work on feeding the world. Oh ya, Go Falcons!

@richardvernick4280 5 лет назад

Thank You guy's Again thank you so much for the continued education on drain tile. Had to rework a drain tile in the farm field as the gas well drillers cut the drain tile when they dug the drillers mud tank. Then next this field drain tile also drains a 2 to 3 gallon per minute spring in the West end of the field some 700 to 750 feet from a creek. The sub layer of this field soil is water bering sand the drain tile has to set on a base board. Thank You for the video's you have made. Have A Great Day. Richard

@dalewalker2315 5 лет назад

I see by the date this video was made nearly a year ago. Very interesting, Zach, we here in Mi. don't have a lot of problem with erosion, but we do use a lot of drain tile. Nearly every time a farm is sold now days, will be grid tiled, every 40'. Having been brought up behind a tiling machine, and having one for every year of my life on the farm. I really enjoyed this memory, Thanks!

@Azone14 6 лет назад

Great camera work and explaining how the system works. Thanks for sharing

@jrbpa5775 6 лет назад

Excellent video, helps explain about the need for tile and water ways. Prior to 1980, every field had a water way of some sort in it. Then equipment got big and farmers got lazy and just worked them up. I live in north central Ohio and now I see water ways being put back in fields like they should be. Great video, thx..

Thanks for the great video Zach! Tiling has sure come a long ways. I barely remember my Grandpa putting in tile in the 1960's but I remember the red drainage tile.

@MillennialFarmer 6 лет назад

John Muir We still have some of that old clay tile under a lot of our spots.

@johnnyjoejimbob 6 лет назад

It was a miracle in it's day. Today it's just common sense. It drained a lot of wetlands unfortunately, but farming is about feeding people. I've lived in Africa with people who literally owned the clothes on their back and the bowl in their hand. And in that bowl was American corn. You are doing tremendous work Zach. Education is the key to the door of understanding. So proud of you!

@@MillennialFarmer In Germany our drain tiles was built by hand in the 19th century and for the new drain tiles we have something like a plough which is pulled by a tractor and it rip up the ground to put the tile in it

So I finally got this explained. I watched same type of job in Holland but there they put down a lot of filt tubes going up and down and up and down across the field. I thought it was to reduce the amount of water in the soil. But now I see it could have something to do with erosion too.

Warm regards from Alberta from a grateful subscriber ... it's not so much the slight acreage gained, it is much more that it makes the entire parcel more farmable, being able to cross and farm across that draw for the next 50 years makes the entire parcel more farmable and valuable. imho.

@joepostles7539 6 лет назад

wow! We have farmers in Delaware who would kill for some of your black soil. We are extremely sandy. Being within 3-10 miles from the Delaware Bay. The marsh lands extend 3- 6 miles inland in many spots along our coast. Making it difficult to control run off from the fields. The use of hedge rows, tax ditches, and buried drains helps us some. We had a combine sit out in the field all winter near us (8 mi inland) because the field looked solid and was only frozen a few inches deep. He got 50 ft off the road and it fell in up the front axles. Sure hate to see a big piece of equipment like that have to sit without cover all winter. He will have rust everywhere in the bin, auger, pick up, etc. You are fortunate to have the big sheds and rubber tracked track tractor. Good video. I will be going back to look at the earlier ones, a far as I can. Keep on plugg'n.

@onefixitman 3 года назад

This drain tile stuff needs about 635,000 more views to hit a million views and all of them need to subscribe. This is real life improvement. Like and share the hell out of this video and all farming videos for that matter so we can help these farmers create some income to get better equipment and we can learn and be entertained. We also like to eat......so......yeah......that is important.
