At Grupo Terra Grande, in Bernardo Sayão (TO), drainage wasn't just about improving an existing crop field — it was about turning pasture into cropland. An area historically used for cattle ranching underwent a large-scale drainage project, executed in phases over five growing seasons.
Pastureland with soil that held more water than agriculture allows — workable for cattle ranching, but not for crops without first addressing the excess moisture. Converting pasture into farmable land required drainage infrastructure at scale, matching the group's season-by-season conversion pace.
Large-scale drainage project, executed in phases between 2020 and 2025, with recurring pipe supply at a density of 250m/ha as each new area entered conversion.
What the partnership delivered
- Conversion of pastureland to cropland made possible by drainage
- Over 770,000 meters of pipe installed in 5 years
- ~3,090 hectares under drainage, at 250m/ha
- Phased execution, following the group's season-by-season conversion schedule
