Primary Drainage Solutions Offered

We specialize in Pattern tiling, Spot tiling and clean water programs to provide customized drainage solutions for optimal farm productivity.

Pattern Tiling

Pattern drain tiling for farms involves strategically placing underground pipes to manage water levels in fields. By creating a systematic grid pattern, excess water is efficiently redirected away from crops during wet seasons, preventing water logging and enhancing soil structure. These drain tiles are typically buried at a slight slope, allowing gravity to guide water towards designated outlets such as ditches or streams. This method not only improves field accessibility and crop health but also mitigates erosion and nutrient loss, contributing to sustainable agricultural practices.

Spot tiling

Spot tile farm drainage refers to a targeted approach in managing water on agricultural land by installing drain tiles in specific problem areas rather than across the entire field. This method is particularly useful in addressing localized water logging or areas prone to excessive moisture retention. By strategically placing drain tiles only where needed, farmers can effectively improve soil aeration, optimize root growth, and prevent crop stress caused by water saturation. Spot tile drainage minimizes installation costs and reduces environmental impact compared to widespread tiling, making it a practical solution for enhancing crop yield and field productivity in problematic spots.

Clean Water Programs

Clean water programs associated with farm drainage and tile installation focus on implementing best management practices to mitigate environmental impacts while improving agricultural productivity. These programs typically involve funding initiatives, technical assistance, and regulatory guidance to encourage farmers to adopt responsible drainage practices. By installing modern tile systems designed to efficiently manage water flow and reduce nutrient runoff, such programs aim to safeguard water quality in nearby streams, rivers, and lakes. Additionally, they promote the use of filters, buffers, and conservation practices alongside tile drainage to capture sediments and nutrients before they reach water bodies. Overall, clean water programs support sustainable farming practices that balance agricultural needs with environmental stewardship, ensuring both clean water resources and productive farmland for future generations.

About

The Story Behind LaVigne Farm Drainage LLC

LaVigne Farm Drainage LLC, led by Jeff LaVigne, has been excelling in farm drainage since 2009.

Our Journey

LaVigne Farm Drainage is owned by Jeff LaVigne. We are located 9 miles west of Pelican Rapids on Highway 108 in Ottertail County. We have been in the drainage business since 2009, with a name change in 2013. Our work consists of Pattern tiling, spot tiling, and clean water programs for erosion control. We design and install all projects ourselves. Jeff is on all projects from start to finish as our plow operator.

Our Mission:
We work alongside farmers to devise the best drainage plan using LiDAR, RTK field surveys, and computer programming to assist us in designing the correct size and amount of tile needed to achieve the greatest results possible. Your input is very important as well because no one knows your farm like you do.
Throughout the entire process, from our first meeting to the installation of tile, our goal is to become friends with our customers and leave you with confidence that you have hired the right contractor who has professionally completed your project.
