TH-cam digging deep into the archives to show me your videos.
learned more from you in 8 min. than 3 hrs. of reading from the so-called experts. you are very well versed and a joy listening to you speak
If farming for some reason don't work in the future you would make a great teacher.
Thank you!
Zack, Going through your older and original videos. These are very educational and you are an amazing teacher. You present the information in such a clear and knowlagable manner. Please keep up the educational videos along with the fun. Really enjoy your podcasts too.
About that little pond at 0:35:When it would ve dried i would ve took the JD9560 with a box scraper and fill it!No more standing water!
That was a lot of rain. Good info on tiling
Great video as usual. It's nice to see how in each video you can take the "what and why's" of what farmers do and explain them in ways both farmers and non farmers can understand. You are defiantly an asset to your profession. Great job Sir.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
It seems like you guys would be a joy to work for, reminds me of the family I worked with for 6 years, great videos makes me miss the farm!
Hey, he's a great farmer AND a great teacher! Agreed, very informative video.
Very informative about N loss and ditching . AND I glad to hear someone besides me say "cricks". North Central Indiana dialect there. Or just plain talk for out in the field, either way , I like it! Sounds like tissue analysis is what you are gathering info with...Thanks for posting this!
very informative! Thanks for sharing your knowledge on this subject.
great video and very educational and you guys have an awesome shop thanks keep the videos coming.
Now I know this is 5 years old, but I will say this. My family out on the prairies of canada have had to install some minimal amount of tiling on their farm and it has worked well for them. Now as a city slicker I don't claim to understand it overly well, and I am no horticulturalist or involved in any way really. For me it amounts to a passing fascination. Zack breaks this down pretty good and seems to be consistent with what my family has stated. He lives this every year first hand, and families like his have for decades.
I do find however that the people who are against tiling, come across confidant, but even by my layman understanding, have no clue what they are talking about. I can tell they have no experience, no actual knowledge. And they need to employ logical fallicies to make any sort of argument. They zoom in on one or two incidences that were done wrong/disastrous, or use appeals to emotion or intuitiveness. They may have some arguments for habitats and what not, but I know most farmers are wanting to preserve a delicate balance as much as anyone.
I grew up in a semi rural part of my Provence, and thus we needed to have well water and septic field. So its a no brainer that the ground filters the water to be potable. We drank it right from the tap with no filtering. Thankyou for putting your experiences out there.
We got 13 at the farm outta that 10 day spurt. Still dodgin wet spots with the sprayer
may you send some to Ontario. we haven't had any for 2 months. crops are looking terrible.
I hope you get some rain soon...
we had 5 1/2 inches in about 8hrs last weekend.
well , just found your channel . like it . very educational .
buffalostate1 Thanks for watching!
I just seen you on another youtube video the racing life season 1- episode 8 at a late model race awesome can we get some footage of the racing operation thanks have a great day be safe.
That's awesome! I had completely forgotten about that. I have debated putting some racing stuff on this channel but haven't decided if I want to mix the 2 or not!
Do you tile the entire quarter section in a parallel grid or just the low spots? What company are you using to install the tile? Do you also do surface ditching? Do you own a scraper?
Tiling is just coming into our area now. Field Drainage Inc. out of Brooks, MN, has been doing most of it with the Ellingson Companies getting some business too. Because our land is very flat, the entire quarter section is tiled in a parallel grid using 40', 60', or 70' spacing depending on the soil type. It all connects to an electric pump in one corner of the quarter which lifts up the water and discharges it into a road ditch unless there is enough fall in the ditch to allow for gravity discharge. The cost is about $500 per acre or more if one needs a pump. I am considering doing it on my land.
In the past most drainage in our area was by surface ditching with scrapers. Every farmer owns a scraper and does there own ditching.
Did you attend the Big Iron Farm Show in West Fargo in September? There was a seminar on tiling in the field demonstration area put on by some soil scientists from NDSU. I attended it and found it to be very interesting. They made some good points. Later I got to visit with salesmen from both Ellingson and Field Drainage.
Its funny, people like to blame the farmers for polluting our water. I have worked in Alexandria just north of this farm for 20 years. You can go on any developed lake around Alex and see many many pumps taking water out of the lake to water the lawns on peoples lake homes. They fertilize these yards, spray for bugs, mosquitos and what not. What happens when it rains?? The very same chemicals lake homeowners complain about are washed right back into the lake from their very own lawns!!!! YET THE FARMER IS TO BLAME???
GOOD TALK , SOME DAY SHOW THE AMOUNT OF WATER COMING OUT OF THE DRAIN PIPE AFTER A GOOD RAIN , I'AM FROM MISSISSIPPI CO. ARKANSAS ...
Catfish Gray I wish I had showed how much was already coming though that day. It starts flowing within minutes because of the perforations
MN Millennial FarmerNitrogen is found in water and if so what would leach from the field into the tile thur rain water think would be very small that is what you are saying. I believe the runoff into a stream would carry more nitrogen then thur a tile for it would be the same process as flittering the water by which the soil is the flitter what do you think.
According to the studies from the U of MN recently, my understanding is that the same amount of nitrates will leave the field no matter what. They will take the tile lines if that's where they are washed to. if not, they will leach through the soil.

I was listing to you and just was a little hard to follow but yes I could see how both would occur it the leaching from draining from soil into the tile or leaching from a field as runoff, thank you for responding. I believe that the tile will help draining a field but the ponding that was shown was there a stream that ran between the two field or was it part of the field that flooded.
+roger wilson it was a flooded area. water only stands there for a short time after large rains.
MN Millennial Farmer
that might be a problem and how far does it flood hum.
Are you using tissue analysis on your crops
Dan Whiteford Some. Probably not as much as we should!
When you say u of m you mean Minnesota not Michigan right?
Those birds really need a case of lead poisoning.
