Subject: RE: Drain Tile Cost Per Acre?


It's a dead flat swamp. I bought the land for what I consider "cheap" because it's never been tiled, and at least a half dozen farmers who have farmed it over the years told me on a good year you'll be planting at the end of may at the earliest, it's just so wet. This year's rains spun that into July. It's truly a beautiful farm, not too many farms around here where you can gaze across a flat field a mile long, but it's deadpan flat, when I was out there this spring the whole field had a 1/2 inch layer of water over it, despite it being a highpoint in the county. I won't be cheaping out on this one, but I obviously don't want to get taken for a ride either.
