How to drain a field and. . .

Posted by ShepFL on June 14, 2001 at 09:29:31 from (38.192.251.39):

how to prevent this situation in the future.

As we all now Mother Nature has been fickle lately. Here in N. FL we've had 3 yrs. of drought followed by 1.5 weeks of downpour, 12" of rain in one week.

That said, my U-Pick operation has been standing in approx. 3-6" of water for over a week. Not to pretty. I am thinking of connecting my turn plow, shortening toplink all the way and using a trencher at the end of rows to try and this drain water. Looking for suggestions/tips.

Also, how do y'all plow, set rows and plant to prevent this? I am planning on a cool season crop also and want to reduce damage.

Thanks,
ShepFL
