Here's how mole drainage works:

1. Installation: Mole drains are installed below the surface of the soil at a depth determined by the soil type, topography, and drainage requirements. The mole plow creates a continuous underground channel without disturbing the surface vegetation or soil structure.
   
   

2. Water Movement: Excess water in the soil profile moves into the mole drains through capillary action and gravity. Once in the drains, the water is directed away from the field, either through natural drainage outlets or into a subsurface drainage system.
   
   

3. Soil Improvement: By removing excess water from the root zone, mole drainage helps to improve soil structure, aeration, and root growth. It also reduces the risk of waterlogging, which can inhibit crop growth and lead to soil degradation.
   
   

4. Crop Benefits: Improved soil drainage and aeration resulting from mole drainage can lead to increased crop yields, enhanced root development, and better overall plant health. It also reduces the risk of water-related crop diseases and allows for earlier planting and harvesting in wet conditions
