Surface is an analysis and design tool that assists with the optimal placement of tile and surface drains.  This helps drain the field adequately, and subsequently increases crop yields.  Combine 3D views and water flow analysis tools to decide where surface ditches or subsurface tile lines should be installed to optimally drain the field, and ultimately increase crop yields.

The powerful Farm Works software drawing tools also let you draw the lines right over the map on the screen.  Drainage lines drawn on the screen then produce a vertical profile of the existing surface along any line.  This allows the operator to quickly decide if the location of the design will be ideal for ditch placement or to install drainage pipe.  It also tells the operator the amount of material required to complete the job.

Exporting these designs back to the FmX integrated display lets you use the Autoslope feature of the FieldLevel II system to design the vertical component of your surface or sub-surface designs by defining slope and depth constraints.  This allows the FieldLevel II system to automatically instruct any drainage machine or implement to install in the right place, at the right depth and slope.
