How important is farm drainage in Ontario?

In this video, we reveal the importance of tile drainage in Ontario. This tomato field has been significantly damaged from too much rainfall. 8 to 10 inches of rain fell in early July on this farm over a period of 10 days. This farm does not have sufficient drainage and it is not designed to handle the amount of rainfall that Ontario often experiences. On average yields can be 30% higher after a farm has been systematically tiled. Damage can be significant when crop input costs are in the thousands of dollars per acre. Installing systematic drainage can quickly become a very prudent option for farmland owners.
