Episode Synopsis

Jamie sits down with Prinsco Ag Application Engineer, Trey Allis, for a conversation about a recent study on pipe perforation and sock fabric. They talk through how small-scale studies might contribute to misconceptions in agricultural water management, and why talking to a contractor in your area is the best bet for farmers who have questions about which drainage products will serve your farm best."Talk to a drainage contractor. To the people you trust in your area... They have decades of experience, and they're not going to steer you wrong." - Jamie DuininckChapters & Topics: 00:00   On this episode…00:15   Welcome to Trey Allis01:25   How was harvest?02:15   The technical side of ag02:40   Socks or no socks?03:30   Michigan State Study05:00   Standard perf, narrow perf, sock…06:15   Accurate or not?07:33   Take it with a grain of sand08:27   What do I do now?10:00   Contractors know11:32   Soil type matters13:15   Narrow slot – all the rage14:15   Use some scrutiny16:30   Do it right the first time17:30   Laterals and spacing19:30   Don’t spend the money22:00   What about old pipe?Related Content:FAQs From the Field: Applications, Materials & MoreSaturated Buffers: Stepping Up to the Plate… On the RoadContractor Conversations at Farmfest: Part 1 with Mike Litzau, Drainage Contractor (he knows what he's talking about!)Find us on social media! Facebook Twitter InstagramListen on these Podcast Platforms :Apple Podcasts Spotify Google Podcasts Visit our website to explore more episodes & water management education
