Improve your bottom line with
Subsurface Drip Irrigation
- Consistent yields
- Higher profits
- Less waste
As farmers, land and water are our
most precious resources
If we’re not using both as efficiently as possible, we’re leaving money on the table. Buying more land isn’t always the best way to become more profitable.
Watch Kurt Grimm, founder of NutraDrip, explain how subsurface drip irrigation improves yield stability and why farmers call it a ‘No-Brainer’ for profitable farming.

Reduce Excess water
Boost your water efficiency by reducing evaporation, water runoff, and deep percolation.
Cover every acre
Subsurface drip irrigation allows you to cover every inch of your field without worrying about topography or slope.
Spoon feed nutrients
Apply fertilizer directly to the root zone at any point during the growing season without waiting for rain.
Improve yield stability
With more control over water and nutrients, you’ll reduce input costs, produce a more uniform crop, and enjoy higher yields.
We're farmers, too.
For more than a decade we’ve been working hard to help farmers add value to their operations. We design, install, and support subsurface drip irrigation systems and are passionate about the entire system of farming.
We’re constantly pursuing new innovations to help improve nutrient loss, soil PH, conservation, and water efficiency. We’re here for you — your partner for the future of your farm.

Frequently asked questions
How much water flow is required for subsurface drip irrigation?
Subsurface drip irrigation requires a minimum of 2 gallons of water per minute/acre and 5 gallons of water per minute/acre is ideal.
How deep is subsurface drip irrigation tape buried?
Subsurface drip irrigation tape is buried between 10″ – 16″ deep depending on your soil type, tillage practices, and germination needs.
How much should I expect to invest on a subsurface drip irrigation system?
A subsurface drip irrigation system typically costs between $2,000-$2,500 per acre depending on your water source and field shape and size.
Can subsurface drip irrigation be installed on slopes, hills, and terraced ground?
Yes, our ground-following plows adjust to the uneven terrain of slops, hills, and terraces.
The pressure-compensating emitters ensure an even flow of water even on hilly and terraced farms.
How long does a subsurface drip irrigation system last?
Subsurface drip irrigation was installed at Kansas State University’s Research Farm in Colby, KS over 25 years ago and is still running smoothly.
We maintain a drip system near York, NE that is 38 years old and still functioning properly.
Proper maintenance and good water quality have helped ensure the longevity of this system.
Do I need to be concerned about rodents damaging my system?
Ground squirrels and pocket gophers can cause damage to a subsurface irrigation system if not properly controlled.
We use bait stations, traps, and natural predators (such as owls) to help decrease rodent pressure.
Mice are typically only a problem if the soil is loose from installation, so we pack the soil using wheel packs once the drip tape has been installed.
