Field Tile Installation for Improved Drainage

we install field tile to improve soil conditions and drainage efficiency. Proper drainage is critical for long-term field performance and productivity.

The work is completed using a Case IH 470 Quadtrac; however, this will probably be the last time this tractor is used for tiling. While capable, the 470 lacks the power and weight. We will be returning to our Case IH 580 Quadtrac, which is better suited for the demands of field tile installation.

My name is Michael Wendling, and I am proud to be a 6th-generation farmer carrying forward a family legacy that began in 1879 here in East Central Illinois.

Today, our operation focuses on raising food-grade corn for Frito-Lay and also soybeans. While the tools and technology have evolved, our core values remain the same: hard work, integrity, and a deep respect for the land we steward.
