What drew you to start your business in our community

In the early 70's Carl Abel saw the need for farm drainage through his farming experiences and talks with his neighbors and fellow farmers, and he decided to fill that need. Through each generation, we have expanded and refined our services to help best meet the needs of the agricultural community in Clay, Palo Alto and surrounding counties in NW Iowa. We want farmers to get the best yield and in turn, the most dollars per acre and maximize their return on investment.

Do you have a fun fact you want to share maybe a story about the first dollar you earned?            

We are a 3-generation family-owned and operated drainage and excavating company
