Your Water is Our Business. Proudly Serving South Dakota and Surrounding Areas.
designed for Results.
Built for Generations.
At East River Land Improvement, we don’t just look at what your field needs today — we think about how to improve your land for years to come. Our team uses the latest tools and top universities from across the Midwest to design drainage systems that help your land stay productive and healthy.
Healthier Crops
Optimal soil—balanced with air, organic matter, minerals, and water—promotes healthier plants. Avoiding oversaturation ensures roots get the oxygen they need.
Better Nutrient Uptake
Healthy plants absorb more nutrients applied by farmers, reducing runoff and improving efficiency.
Stronger Root Systems
Proper soil conditions support deep, vertical roots. In contrast, saturated soil causes weak, shallow roots. Deep roots improve drought resilience and weather resistance.
Drainage
Removing excess moisture from the soil profile not only reclaims unproductive land, but it also creates predictability, allowing timely planting and harvesting. The result of which is more productive, higher yielding acres.
Controlled Drainage
Water control structures help retain moisture for use during dry periods, improving plant access when it’s most needed.
Predictable Drainage.
At East River Land Improvement, we don’t just install drainage systems — we design long-term success for your land, your yield, and your future.
We believe great drainage isn’t about how fast a project is installed or how many pieces of equipment are running around. It’s about understanding your land as a living system. Our work begins far before the first trench is dug — and continues well after installation — because water management is more than just water removal. It’s about strategic control, environmental stewardship, and generational soil health.
We Care Because You Care
At East River Land Improvement, we partner with farmers who care — about their crops, their soil, and the generations who will work the same land. That’s why we don’t just install tile — we build custom solutions that help you farm smarter, harvest better, and leave your land healthier than you found it.
