Waterways & Surface Drainage

Notice the water running on the outside of the waterway – not in the channel. There is even a tractor in the background working ground ahead of planting and there is dust behind it.

It is less expensive to drain water on the surface compared to sub-surface.

Depending on slope/fall of a given field – you may need a comphrensive plan that includes surface drainage as well as tile.

Most farms have poor tile records/maps and outdated drainage network that are ineffective and may be “full”.

Davis Bros uses fully integrated SmartGrade 3D Grade Control on a 2021 model John Deere 750L Dozer.

Davis Bros will work closely with NRCS to build a plan for surface drainage, convert the topo information/cut and fill sheets to a tp3 file and plug this into the 750L dozer for precision execution of the plan before moving any dirt.

We can also develop a plan with the land owner, farm manager, neighboring growers and landowners as well as the operator of that specific tract.
