Subject: Re: Irrigation with drain tile?


East central Indiana
Becks as a plot that system they installed it 3 years ago. IT is 3 inch tile on 25 or 30 ft centers on contours of the field. It s also onl 28 inchs to the bottom of the tile I believe. They pump out of a pond at there place. They have a control structure that as rains come the excess water runs out and back into the pond. It is showing some promising data at the summer show. It's at the atlanta facility.

They are also filtering there water. You need to be careful if you have fish in the pond. You have lots of little microbes in there. They create algea and I think could cause issues with plugging the tile.
