It’s important to pay attention to drainage when analyzing your farm’s performance. Trimble’s WM-Drain® farm drainage solution, paired with WM-SubsurfaceTM design software, is a toolset that streamlines the survey, analysis, design, installation, and verification steps of surface and subsurface drainage. Complete all your drainage operations with one integrated solution providing significant benefits, such as: improving crop yields by up to 30%, maintaining a more developed root zone for better nutrient absorption, removing excess water from the field and lower plant stress, and reducing field compaction and minimize soil erosion.

It is often said that if you want to go faster, go alone. But if you want to go further, go together. This is especially true in the field of drainage, where drains require multiple landowners to agree (and pay) together and, depending on the drain, might involve a few levels or ministries of government before the contractor even breaks ground. These relationships can be tricky to navigate. They might be new or pre-existing. They could be smooth or they could be strained, with or without cause. So much of our work relies on working together – so how can we get better at getting along?

What’s better than installing one saturated buffer or bioreactor at a time? Doing 25-50 to improve water quality for an entire watershed. Jamie and Keegan Kult, Executive Director of the Agricultural Drainage Management Coalition (ADMC) talk batch and build projects, cover crops and how water management can help farmers deal with climate change.
Keegan has been working with agricultural water management for more than 15 years and has contributed to 80+ edge of field practice installations, development of new conservation practice standards, and to the scientific literature documenting practice performance and cost effectiveness. He holds a Master of Science degree from Iowa State University in Environmental Science with an emphasis on water resources and a Bachelor of Science degree also from Iowa State University in Forestry.
