For any farmer facing the challenge of oversaturated fields, the primary question becomes: what's the best way to get water off my land? This leads to the critical decision between surface drainage solutions and subsurface drainage solutions. Both are essential tools for a productive farm, but they address different problems. Richland Micro Drainage understands the unique challenges of every acre and offers expert solutions for both. Surface Drainage Solutions: Handling What You Can See Surface drainage solutions are all about managing water that collects on top of the soil. This is the water you can see pooling in low spots after a heavy rain, or the runoff that causes visible erosion and washes away your valuable topsoil. Our approach to surface drainage is precise and data-driven. We begin by using advanced RTK topography with an ATV and a data collector to create a detailed water model of your field. This allows us to accurately identify flow passes and depression pockets that are causing issues. For a permanent fix, we use high-speed dirt pan services to reshape the land, eliminating those small, troublesome pockets and creating a positive grade. This ensures water travels efficiently away from your crops. For more targeted solutions, our Model 24 Ditcher-Terracer and 3-PT 26 3-Point Ditcher allow you to create or maintain ditches using your own tractor, providing an economical way to manage surface water. Subsurface Drainage Solutions: Solving the Hidden Problem While surface drainage is crucial, it doesn't solve the issue of a high water table or a waterlogged root zone. That's where subsurface drainage solutions come in. This method involves installing a network of pipes below the ground to collect and convey excess water away from the root system. Richland Micro Drainage specializes in an innovative micro drainage system that provides a superior solution. Our micro drainage concept utilizes a shallow depth (typically 24 inches) and closer lateral spacing to quickly remove water from the critical root zone. We achieve this with our lightweight, 2-inch drainage pipes and specialized equipment like our Micro Plow. Tools like the Micro Cutter/Crusher and Micro Reel give you complete control over your installation, allowing you to manage your own project efficiently. This precise approach prevents oversaturation from the bottom up, leading to healthier plants and higher yields. Choosing the Right Approach for Your Farm So, which is right for you? In many cases, the most effective solution is a combination of both. Surface drainage handles the immediate runoff, while subsurface drainage creates the ideal environment for long-term soil health. You've identified a problem, and now you're considering your options. You're ready to find a solution that fits your specific needs. Richland Micro Drainage has the expertise and the equipment for both surface drainage solutions and subsurface drainage solutions. Ready to find out which drainage system is right for your fields?

For farmers seeking to install or upgrade their subsurface drainage, efficiency and precision are paramount. Manual pipe cutting and handling can be a cumbersome and often risky process, requiring extra labor and increasing the chance of errors. Richland Micro Drainage, a leader in agricultural drainage solutions, offers a game-changing tool: the Micro Cutter TCF-100. By using drainage pipe cutters for efficient installation, you gain complete control over your project, saving time, money, and headaches. Drainage Pipe Cutters and Crushers: A New Level of Control The Micro Cutter is not just a piece of equipment; it's a tool that empowers you with total control over your drainage installation. Our drainage pipe cutters and crushers eliminate the need for an extra hired hand, freeing up money and mitigating potential injury liability. With an approximate weight of just 200 lbs., its small and manageable size is deceptive, as its capabilities are vast.  The Micro Cutter gives you complete command over your pipe. It mounts on any brand of plow and works with open or closed center hydraulics, making it a universal tool for a variety of applications. You can control the pipe in forward or reverse and adjust pressure for precise downward feed, even in challenging conditions. The clean, straight cut it provides means no end caps are needed, and by crushing the pipe in a half-moon shape, the surrounding dirt holds it shut, preventing debris from entering the line. Seamless Integration with Our Agricultural Drainage Solutions The benefits of the Micro Cutter extend far beyond its immediate function; they are central to the success of our entire micro drainage concept. The ability to control your pipe and avoid stretched or tangled messes is crucial for the precision required for perpendicular drainage. When you install lines perpendicular to water flow using GPS, every foot of pipe counts. A clean, precise cut ensures seamless connections and optimal flow. Furthermore, the Micro Cutter perfectly complements our 2-inch drainage pipe, a key component of our agricultural drainage solutions. The Micro Cutter works flawlessly with 2”, 3”, and 4” pipe, giving you a versatile tool for any job.

Soil erosion is a pervasive and costly threat to agricultural productivity, leading to lost topsoil, diminished fertility, and environmental degradation. Farmers are constantly seeking effective soil erosion prevention strategies that are both sustainable and economically viable. Richland Micro Drainage understands these critical challenges and offers comprehensive erosion control methods that provide versatile advantages for the health and productivity of your farmland, focusing on cost-effective soil erosion prevention methods. Understanding the Cost of Erosion The impact of soil erosion extends far beyond the visible loss of topsoil. It reduces water infiltration, hampers nutrient retention, and leads to increased pest and disease pressure. Over time, these factors translate directly into higher input costs, reduced yields, and ultimately, a less profitable and sustainable farming operation. Addressing this unsustainable issue with proper drainage and knowledge is paramount. Effective Erosion Control Methods with Richland Micro Drainage Richland Micro Drainage provides tailored solutions that directly combat soil erosion, leveraging a combination of expertise, advanced equipment, and strategic water management. Our approach ensures that you limit or even prevent erosion entirely, safeguarding your most valuable asset: your soil. Precision Surface Drainage: Our ditch construction services utilize RTK topography mapping to precisely reshape your fields. By eliminating depression pockets and creating a positive grade, we ensure water flows efficiently across the surface, significantly reducing erosive runoff. This highly controlled flow is a fundamental erosion control method. Optimized Subsurface Drainage: The installation of our micro drainage systems directly addresses the root causes of erosion linked to oversaturated soil. By efficiently removing excess water from the root zone, our 2-inch drainage pipes prevent water logging that makes soil vulnerable to detachment and transport. This is a crucial, cost-effective soil erosion prevention method because healthy, well-drained soil is more resilient. Integrated Soil Health Practices: We advocate for complementary practices that further enhance soil erosion prevention, such as the use of cover crops. While cover crops physically protect the soil surface, our drainage ensures they thrive, enabling them to build organic matter that improves soil structure and reduces its susceptibility to erosion. Cost-Effective Soil Erosion Prevention Methods for Long-Term Gains Investing in Richland Micro Drainage solutions is a cost-effective soil erosion prevention method with long-term financial benefits. By preventing soil loss, you reduce the need for costly nutrient replacements, maintain consistent yields, and improve the overall market value of your land. Our micro drainage systems are designed for durability and efficiency, providing lasting protection against erosion.  Richland Micro Drainage stands ready to help you overcome the challenges of soil erosion. With our specialized drainage equipment, proven methods, and deep understanding of agricultural land, we provide the versatile advantages you need for the health and productivity of your farm. Contact Richland Micro Drainage today to learn how our comprehensive erosion control methods help you achieve effective soil erosion prevention and secure your farm's future.
