AG Drainage Services
Wet conditions are tough. Rain slows your ability to get into the field and makes harvesting time even more difficult. Poorly drained fields prolong your period of inactivity, and excessive moisture slows your ability to plant in the spring and harvest in the fall. The goal at Hodgman Drainage Company, Inc. is to make sure that wet weather does not hamper your crop management schedule, so you can get in and out of the field on time. We understand that the bottom line is well-drained fields produce higher yields.
Hodgman Drainage specializes in underground solutions, particularly drainage systems, for farmers in the Midwest region, land management companies, large land investors, herb farmers, vineyards, and small family farmers. Our “agricultural family” is extensive and we are proud to have served farmers, landowners, municipalities, and contractors in the drainage and construction services since 1982. Over that time, we have evolved with the progress in improved drainage techniques, systems, and conservation and are continually sharing and using new innovation to assist our agricultural family to improve yields.
Our highly trained and experienced staff will ensure that your project is done correctly and on time. Hodgman Drainage utilizes modern equipment outfitted with the latest technology which enables us to complete your project with greater efficiency and accuracy. We use GPS surveying and mapping technology to efficiently and effectively design, install, and map your drainage system to ensure your fields are producing the highest yields.
“Improved technology enables us to design drainage systems to custom fit each farmer’s needs and provide specific mapping for future reference.” -Dan Hodgman
