The most important things to know about tiling:

  1. Tiling is GREAT for the environment when done properly
  2. Tiling reduces erosion
  3. Tiling reduces flooding
  4. Tiling helps roads
  5. Tiling increases yields, usually 15% to 25%
  6. Tile lines can be used to irrigate if installed with that goal in mind

I get so tired of people bad-mouthing tile when they don’t even know the facts.  I also get frustrated when I see tile installed incorrectly, which can cause problems for everyone.

At our Tiling Clinics, we’ll talk through all these issues; and even if you’ve attended our Clinics before, we have a host of new and interesting information, guest speakers and break-out sessions that you won’t want to miss.

Our break-out sessions will include:

  • Sub-surface irrigation using tile lines
  • Lift station design and implementation, especially in low slope situations
  • Intellislope tile plow guidance (for new users)
  • Intellislope tile plow guidance updates & tips (for advanced users)
  • AGPS tile plow guidance software
  • Trimble tile plow guidance software
  • ND (Fargo) or SD (Sioux Falls) NRCS session rules, regulations, and Wetland Determinations
  • Minnesota NRCS rules, regulations, and Wetland Determinations
  • Private consultant Wetland Determinations and tile system design
  • Tiling Basics with Brian & Darren
  • Tile System Design with Brian & Darren
  • Live Ag PhD Radio Show from 2 pm to 3 pm with Brian and Darren

We will also have one or two of the top drainage lawyers in the country on hand to answer your questions for free.  You will also see a wide variety of tiling equipment on display.  Most of the tile equipment manufacturers will have representatives on hand, too; so if you have equipment questions you can get them answered that day.  These will be our best tiling clinics ever, so don’t miss the one near you!
