There’s tiling going on in a nearby field today…
Next is a closer look at the tiling machine. It digs a trench and threads in the tubular plastic tile…
On the right in this next photo is the spool which holds the roll of tile…
If only there was sound with this next photo. The tiling machine rumbles and roars as it works to pull the trencher through the ground…
Tile is put into the ground for drainage purposes. I remember watching a tiling machine lay clay tile on our farm when I was a kid. What a noise it made! We still have a few clay tiles sitting on a junk pile…
I used to put them around tomato plants in the spring.

Tiling has changed the landscape and the way water is channeled. Its an interesting discussion of production vs wetlands vs economics. Nice post. Thanks.
That's interesting. Do you mean ALL fields have this, some, or most?
Pat, I don't know what percentage of farm fields are tiled. Tiling has been done for many years, so I assume alot of fields have it.
