Extension.org has an article up on Preferential Flow of Manure in Tile Drainage. We’ve done some work with tile drainage and plenty of work with manure application, but no projects so far that overlap the two. A lot of of the advice seems like common sense, e.g don’t apply manure when the drains are flowing. The key is to be aware of the special conditions that subsurface drainage can create in a field and to make sure both the land owner and the applicator are aware of the actions needed to mitigate those conditions.
