Brian’s mini has been putting in hours running the mini (excavator) and filling in search sites. Naturally, he had to throw a few casts on his break… and ended up catching a nice bass!

Now this kid is convinced he needs to “work” every day. And now we’re both convinced dad’s job doesn’t seem all that bad. Apparently, catching fish on company time is part of the job benefits.

If your main line isn’t sized correctly, it can run full for too long—leaving your field looking wet because the water can’t move out fast enough. Properly sized mains are key to handling water flow without getting overloaded.

These outlets are a great example of a system working the way it should—moving water efficiently and keeping the field in good shape after a 4 inch rain. Two days later this field was already dry and the main was flowing less. Inappropriately sized mains run for weeks, creating more long term issues.

We rely on multiple design resources, and in this case, all pointed to 10”–12” mains for the right capacity.

Not sure if your system is sized correctly? We’re happy to take a look - just call Brian at 641-330-3130
