In Cooperative Extension’s over 100-year history of helping farmers with sound, research-based knowledge, it is known our rural community recognizes the benefit of land grant institutions like the University of Kentucky. Farmers utilize all the resources available to them to accomplish practices needed in their farming operation. In this example, a farmer made application and received an acceptance letter for a local cost share program. He was approved 50 percent cost share for tiling an 18 acre field with a high water table and poor hay yields. Farmer routinely borrowed his neighbor's four-wheel drive tractor to harvest the hay. He contacted our Extension office to ask about technical assistance to be able to tile the field himself with his backhoe. The Estill County Extension agent for agriculture and natural resources suggested he contact the local Natural Resources Conservation office for this assistance. The farmer was informed that NRCS officially stopped giving assistance on tiling after the 1985 Food Security Act that mandated wetland protection. The county agent contacted UK Extension soil management specialist who gave contact information of a NRCS area soil scientist in western Kentucky. The NRCS area soil scientist worked with us via email to get field coordinated and parameters so he could provide tiling specifications, detailed layout maps, and practical advice for the farmer. After all the information was delivered to the farmer, he emailed the county agent stating “Thanks again, I couldn’t ask for better information and help.” On October 7, 2020, the county agent was invited to the site where the field tile was uncovered but installed and functioning to drain the field. In 2020, the first cutting hay yield was 30 round bales but this year the field produced 70 bales with no need to borrow the four-wheel drive tractor. Landowner noted the grass stand was much improved as well. Tiling will improve the productivity of this field for years to come.
