how does tile work

Increases Farmable Ground

Increases Farmable Ground

We all know that crops won't grow very well where the ground is really wet. By using tile, we can help you plant and grow in places you never thought possible. Many soils in the midwest have poor natural drainage systems. Many parts of Iowa used to be filled with swamps and bogs that are now farm land. 

Increases Yields

Tiling helps reduce the peak flood height in your fields. That means less standing water and better yields. By lowering the water table, the amount of water it takes to flood your crops increases making a more suitable environment for crop growth. Furthermore, lowering the water table helps promote root growth which makes your crops much healthier. 

Reduces Erosion

Reduces Erosion

 By lowering the water table, the soil above the tile becomes much dryer. This helps slow the water runoff and keeps your top soil in your fields instead of flowing down stream. Tile promotes infiltration which slows the water runoff from the land. 

The Technology behind the Operation

About our plow

Many people have different opinions about what type of plow is best when it comes to agricultural drainage. Here at Mehmert Tiling we have always done our work with a trench plow. There is something to be said about the compaction that a plow creates compared to a wheel plow. However, our plow is designed to lift the dirt instead of split the dirt. This helps eliminate the compaction that the plow creates underground. Furthermore, our plows can pull in a line much faster than a wheel plow costing the farmer less for more work.
