The Context
Agricultural subsurface collection solution
Founded in 1995, Atocas Bédard Farm grows 300 acres of cranberries on its two farms. Grown on sandy soils, cranberries require good moisture control; well drained or irrigated soils ensure optimal growth of this plant. Water must be available to producers quickly to protect the crop and facilitate harvesting. This is why they spend a lot of time and energy draining their fields and installing an irrigation system to maintain an ideal level of humidity. Also, cultivated land must have a controlled water table to counter the effects of drought in summer.

The Solution
Owing to its soil composition, 50 acres were drained with the Mega 3-250 microns drain on the Princeville farm in the summer of 2017. Satisfied with the performance of this sheathed drain, Mr. Bédard is continuing the transition and renovating a few dozen acres at the Saint-Louis-de-Blandford farm this year with Mega 3-250 microns drain.
