Let’s take a closer look at some of the success stories from farms that have been transformed by Opdahl’s expert services.

One such farm is Johnson Family Farms, a third-generation family-owned operation that was struggling with poor soil drainage. The excess water on their fields was causing significant crop loss and hindering their ability to plant and harvest efficiently. Opdahl Farm Drainage stepped in and designed a custom drainage system that effectively removed excess water from their fields, allowing for better root growth and overall crop health. The results were astounding – Johnson Family Farms saw a 20% increase in crop yield in the first year alone.

Another success story comes from Smith Orchard, a large-scale fruit farm that was facing issues with standing water in their orchards. This waterlogged soil was causing root rot and damaging their fruit trees, leading to decreased harvests and profit losses. Opdahl’s team of experts installed a comprehensive subsurface drainage system that effectively drained the excess water away from the orchards. As a result, Smith Orchard saw a dramatic improvement in tree health, with increased fruit production and healthier, more vibrant trees.

Larson Dairy Farm, a dairy operation with hundreds of cows, was struggling with muddy pens and poor grazing conditions due to inadequate drainage. The muddy conditions were not only uncomfortable for the cows but also posed health risks and decreased milk production. Opdahl Farm Drainage implemented a comprehensive surface water management system that redirected rainwater and runoff away from the pens, creating drier and more stable ground for the cows to graze on. Larson Dairy Farm saw a significant improvement in cow comfort and health, leading to increased milk production and overall farm profitability.
