Learn about our Histroy
Beginning in 1910, my great grandfather Alexander Maxwell and his brother Silas started laying clay field tile and building small bridges around Montgomery County, Indiana. Of Alexander's eleven children, three of his sons - Jack, Birle, and Walter - continued the business into the 1960's.
We don't know when exactly they got their first Buckeye tiling machine, but until then everything was dug by hand. My grandfather, Ralph "Windy" Maxwell, helped my great uncles part time, and that's how Bart Maxwell Sr. got involved...

Drainage Benefits
1. Earlier planting and harvesting - Excess moisture in the spring can slow the soil from warming. A well-drained farm can get you in the field 7 to 10 days earlier and give you a more consistent stand across the farm, thus bringing you an earlier harvest.
2. Improved soil structure - Effective drainage reduces compaction, smearing, and crusting. In addition, effective drainage also improves soil aeration and the breakdown of organic matter.
