1842 Encycl. Brit. VIII. 139/2 The drain thus made is like a large mole gallery, and hence it is called mole-draining.

1853 H. Stephens Farmer's Guide 645 There are also plug and mole draining in strong tough clay subsoils.

1941 E. J. Russell Eng. Farming 37 Mole draining has been developed... The drain is cut by a plough consisting of a steel cylinder with a pointed end carried on a strong steel framework and dragged through the soil by a tractor so as to make a tunnel 2 or 3 inches in diameter and 18 inches to 2½ feet below the surface. The tunnel is not unlike that made by a mole.

1958 Times 18 Aug. 11/7 On the clay marshes of Suffolk and Essex there has also been a certain amount of mole-draining—a technique unsuitable to most of the Dutch soils.
