Around here, all decent land is tiled. Generally, 4" plastic tiles, in ground, every 30'0, draining to an open or closed tile outlet or ditch. Around here everybody lays tiles with a plow unit. Basically a backhoe digs a small trench, the plow drops it in to plow it into the ground, and the depth is controlled via a laser, to get proper pitch. The plow can plow anywhere from 24 to 5'deep. Draining a farm here is costly, in the 600-800/acre range. It allows to get on your land sooner in the spring (dries it out), and it helps in a wet fall as well. Hound
