In part two of introducing Surface Shaping, Kelly walks us through how to turn a watershed map into a buildable surface shaping plan that automatically controls a scraper. Kelly also shares the ADMS tools, soil insights, controller details, and timing tips that make smarter water movement practical and profitable.

• farmer input on outlets, trouble spots, directionality will be important
• ADMS Surface Shaping tools: build wall, cut‑fill hills, morph
• logistics of dirt sourcing and yardage
• fill percentage to counter soil settling and swell
• Surface Shaping controller needs a prescription map to run
• SD Surface release timing and ditching toggle
• RTK, slope sensors, hardware compatibility
• prep early for support and uptime
• water management ROI across acres

Good water management pays!

*At the time of recording this episode, the original plan was for release of SD Surface mid-September, but we are still doing some tests, so stay tuned for a later release!
