Aye, on rare occasions the 'tinternet does actually point us in educational directions! :)

Agreed Spencer..! I never knew about this sort of field watering system. The old folks were pretty damned clever. Much respect to them.

En España y en campos com cientos de años ya se drenaba,y saneaba la tierra para poder hacer agriculura sana, bien oara cereales o para tuberculos, como se labraba con animales las zanjase hacian, al empezar, minimo de 0,80 y ,a desaguar sl pequeño rio ,rregero, o barranco mas cercano con un minimo desnivel a ojo, pero siempre habia desnivel y agua en el caño,y el campo criaba bien

I have friend get her PHD in Agricultural Engineering.

Lower Michigan is FULL of thousands of miles of drain tiles. Practically every single farmed field that you will see in Livingston County is only possible because of extensive drainage tiling and ditches.

Midwest I think they have to

@@eyes2c..519really it’s for anywhere that shouldn’t be farmland.. Lots of good farmland went to city folk.. and then city folk wanted to farm.. They had/have to make land and wetlands farmable

@@eyes2c..519only in the areas that get more rain. 99% of farm acres in Nebraska don’t have tile. Kansas won’t have tile. The dakotas won’t have tile. It’s the eastern mid west and the middle Midwest that uses tile. It’s actually terrible for your soil health. It takes all the nutrients and just floods it away instead of staying in the soil bed.

It actually prevents runoff of topsoil and crop residue and manages the water table to keep fertility in the field where it belongs.

This comment tells me that this guy knows whats up!😊

@@jantjarks7946 can't help it...i got incontinence....🤪🤪🤪🤪

Trump's tax returns were hidden in the drain tile!

The tile in the video was way too shallow

It's not very deep, but I'd guess it's about 100 years old as well.

When you put the wood down there and put a bunch of dirt on top of it it stops the oxygen from getting to it kind of like the old logs that you get lost during logging days and end up in the mud at the bottom of the river

Lotta hard work 💪. But just goes to show if theirs will theirs always a way.

​@shanefowler3504 so many experts posting Thank you.

Excellent point. I was also just thinking that in many parts of the world drain tiled fields causing floods at some times of the year and drought at others. Water is suppose to flow slowly through topsoil.

Well should be a little deeper then....

​@@warenmongers5405It should be as deep as it is, others shouldn't artificially drain it.

@@truthbetold1855 Well should be more then 6 feet deep...lol

​@@truthbetold1855wells ARE deeper than that not needs to be. that the neighbor's well is dry isn't likely to happen unless it's hand dug (shallow) which hasn't happened in the USA for nearly a hundred years 😉

Men worked hard back in the day.

Might have caused a hazard. That water has to go somewhere.

@valk7229 I'd assume irrigation was in order. If not, I'd also assume it would have washed away by now. Lol, but yeah, a small amount of water can cause all kinds of damage.

I think you fd up buddy

Just imagine if everyone had the can-do attitude and work ethic of a farmer.

​@@P-Bar-2we all pay some in the end.

So you built the house 25 feet away and finished the new pool, right?

​​​@@P-Bar-2 who do you think? Maybe the person whose negligence caused the problem. That's how life works bud, you don't get to be negligent and have other people cover your mistakes, especially when it comes to money. Which unlike most people these days, farmers usually take accountability for their own actions instead of blaming it on someone else. Especially back in the 70s, where people actually used their brains. The only way it would be covered by the builder, is if it said in the contract that they would cover any mistakes not caused by the builders themselves, if it was in the law, or if they were SUPER nice. Could maybe be covered by some kind of insurance, but doubtful since it was the farmers mistake.

I wasn't around for the repair otherwise I would've done a follow-up video. Nobody is at fault. That drainage was probably put in 100 years ago before we owned the farm. Old stuff breaks sometimes.

There is installed pipe buried by the farmer so the field can drain off excess rain water

​@amcmillionaire1189 nott likely lol. Excess rain water in clay shit soil field? There's lots of run off but it shouldn't ever be deliberately drained into a water way. Ever. That's more likely there to steal creek water if anything.

​@@brandonbernard4171It's literally the purpose of tiling a field.. to move sub-surface water under a field. Matter of fact.. You'd tile a clay field specifically to prevent waterlogging and prevent the soil from breaking up.. cause clay is prone to it. Might be an area with a lot of rain. As for water drainage into streams.. farmers are allowed to do a lot. Clean water act exempts minor drainage. States all have different drainage laws. Depending how big this farm is - it may very well have a stream that solely rests on the farm. So long as it isn't impacting others land and water quality, it's most likely allowed. Finally, depending on the part of the USA even if he did divert a stream - he may very well be able to legally do so. I'd bet if this feller paid the money to build these tiles and spent the time and effort to put them in - he isn't about to do something illegal to put a bunch of equipment, land, and crops at risk.

Wow they thought of almost everything except one day it may need repaired and some coordinates could really come in handy then! Very interesting thanks.

Now they just spray whatever chemicals the government tells them to & collect their check

Pretty sure irrigation was around before then

Nephilim farmers

I guess thats why they call them DRAIN tiles, right.

Ya, but that's not what's going on here. This is to remove water from fields. Much of the US farmground gets too much water for crops (and don't even need irrigation). These drain pipes (called "tile" in agricultural) allow excess water to drain out of a field.

True story!

We still find mammoth teeth in the creeks around my home in Ohio on occasion.

Mammoth bones were found near Chelsea about 8 years ago.

There's been 100's of mastodon discoveries in Michigan. And those are just the ones farmers cared to deal with as the whole process can delay operations.

I would've freaked out.

in Detroit too. Show me what you learned in these fields around here

Goes on down to the creek about a half mile away.

​@@TheFarmersLife Man, wouldnt you love to know the history of that? Who dug it and with what and when? Do you have any idea about when it might be from?

@@BonsaiBuckeye probably 100 years old or so I'd guess. My grandpa always told a story of one of the county drainage mains that runs through us. It was originally put in by one man and mule with a slip scoop on the mule. He and my great grandpa used to dig up tile sometimes and clean them out by hand with a spade.

@@TheFarmersLifeNot a framer, but definitely a digger… I’m sure ya didn’t wanna find it, but it’s awesome that you did.

100% Safety First! As an Electrician , I can first hand Agree . OSHA Approved shoring , Braces! Plumbers as well!

I think there may be laws in place that say you cannot floor your neighbor to drain yourself. Even without that it's just good practice. Plus it pays you to have it all in good working order.

Never thought they'd dig there right

No surprise was the surprise 😂😮

I'm sick of misleading titles / thumbnails. Report them.

the box thing was the surprise

I've seen quite a few panel discussions at conferences about water use out your way. I'm just there in the crowd thinking they'd think it's nuts we're over here trying to get rid of it most of the time.

Well what these west coast fools fail to realize is whoever controls the water, controls the people. These people sit in their mansions and make rules up that affect others besides themselves

I grew up on a farm in southeast Iowa, and if we didn't have the field tile, we may of never gotten into some fields early enough to raise a decent crop. Sometimes we had to dig down and repair a broken tile. That was usually a muddy job.

​@@ronfullerton3162what is a tile? Homemade waterline, maybe?

@@michaeldepow6663 pipes underground to drain water. Called tile because they were made from clay at one time. Wood before that. Now it's all plastic.

We were guessing that one is probably around 100 years old.

Called drain tile around here. Underground system to help drain fields. Watch us install a new system here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nN6hhrqD17GzfY0.html

drain tiles are what send copious amounts of manure into our rivers.

@@trevorchabot864 As well as everytime you flush your toilet your poo gets into the same rivers.

@@trevorchabot864 you are 100% incorrect it is the opposite it helps prevent that

@@rodrod383 water that would sit in a field instead gets sent to ditches and streams. Guess where ditches and streams lead to. I could take your word for it, or I could trust my own experience and the words of people who have studied the issue.

P

This is illegal where I live, huge environmental fines for contaminating water and ecosystems.

There was a hole on top. That’s a clear sign you have a piece that needs repaired. It drains to the creek.

We've dug up quite in the video. Many times it'll just be a 6-8" round hole when you spot it. But sometimes a big county main will break and take a bunch of dirt with it. Worst we've had needed three tri-axle dump trucks to fill after the line was fixed.

Tile is what it's called around here, but it's drainage systems under farm fields. This is a very old one. When you have a breakdown there will be a hole up top where dirt washed into the system. That's how you now it's time to dig and make a repair. Draining fields helps the lowest areas not drown the crop out, and it preps the soil to be able to take more rain when it comes. This lets more rain soak in rather than run over the top causing erosion and pollution.

Thanks I was lost

Tile it's that flat concrete peice above the hole why it's there is the misery

Ok ... drainage pipes. Got it.

Pollution? 😂 Where does all that fertilizer drain? In to the stream and then out to a river? Into one of the Great Lakes or the ocean or gulf? Curious. 🤔

Go do it then. I'm sure your brain cell would enjoy the stimulation.

Never seen an octagon before. That’s cool.

So that's part of a drainage system under a farm field. When there's a breakdown it sucks in the dirt above it and you see a hole. Then you know you've got a repair to make so you start digging.

@bigOdog so at one point in time they laid this drain tile to move water under the field instead of the water washing the field out and ruining the crop in the field. Well in a lot of fields this was done 100 yrs ago, so every once in a while the line will break causing a hole in the field because it sucks the dirt into the drain tile. Thats how they know where to fix it!

Sometimes. Sometimes you find a junk pile another farmer buried decades ago. Or a rock pile that was buried.

@@TheFarmersLife oh ..well they are all over these fields where I'm at sir in Arkansas..that's why I was asking .

Not much gone just set out of sight of the camera. I almost drove into one of those bigger than a combine tire once! Another time we had a big county main breakdown. They had to haul in three tri-axle loads of soil to fill it.

Old drainage system. My neighbor farms 2500 acres and about a third has tile drains because the sub strata is all clay. Before they tiled he'd have a couple of tractors or s combine bottomed out in the mud every year.

Drainage you mean

Haven't had any rain

Why did God have to invent it? The mentality that someone else is ultimately responsible for anything to which you want to assign praise or guilt.. doesn't jive with me.

@@Marlin101084 lol, who invented dirt, rocks, water? How is it that we exhale what plants inhales and vice versa? Who invented God? For intelligent humans give all praise to god?

@@FranciscoJimenez-bb7fk Wait, do you subscribe to the idea that God is an invention? That makes me think I could really enjoy discussing/developing these ideas further with you! I'd like to hear your thoughts on that in contrast to your original comment.

The saying about drainage tile is you pay for it either way. Pay for it to be installed or pay for it in lower yields.

That's great you help the farmer get it repaired.
