Surface Water Management Solution for Farms
FromPrecision Ag
Waterlogging can significantly impact crop yield, potentially costing farmers up to $1,200 per hectare in lost production during wetter seasons when yield potential is often highest. Precision Ag offers a Surface Water Management solution aimed at mitigating the effects of waterlogging and optimizing farm yield potential. The solution involves creating a detailed elevation map of the farm to identify at-risk areas for waterlogging, erosion, and drainage restrictions, which are often related to soil type. By strategically placing drains, the excess water can be effectively removed, thus improving the productive capacity of the soil. This predictive and strategic approach helps farmers maximize yield by addressing water management issues proactively.Most popular related searches

Waterlogging can have a severe yield impact, in our experience costing farmers up to $1,200 per hectare in lost production. Wetter seasons are often the years when yield potential is high so it is important to try and maximise average yield at these times.
The good news is that waterlogging is usually predictable and with Precision Ag, we can help you increase potential yield in these areas.
Key to this is building a detailed picture of elevation across your farm as this identifies areas at risk of waterlogging and erosion, as well as drainage restrictions, which are all often related to soil type. By setting up strategic drains we can help you remove excess water and improve the productive capacity of your soil.
