I don't think it's used much in ag purposes, but you can also buy cloth socks for the plastic drain tile. The socks are necessary when the ground has excessive silt or very fine sand, along with a high water table.
Around here, it's not unusual for there to be entire years where the water table never goes lower than about 3' to 4' below the surface, and we've had MONTHS where it just hangs inches below the grass!! Makes any kind of conventional farming virtually impossible in this area.
By the way, to give you an idea of just how much water we're talking about here, just the basement sump pump has pumped upwards of 7,000 gallons of water each day for months on end!! That's a lot of electric used. Unfortunately, with a water table that is normally so extremely high, there is often a need to have a pump rather than just letting the water drain off somewhere. Putting tile in around here is used to lower the water table as well as provide better drainage, so often you're trying to remove water to a river or creek that is actually at a higher level than the drain tile.
