Thanks Vamaz- That's an interesting idea. The guy from NRCS didn't mention the draw on that part of the property. My initial thought is that it would be more time consuming and expensive to clear 1-2 acres in that area, than to move dirt on the other part of the property to create a diversion. The woods are pretty thick in that entire area. Although the dam would not be as tall or long I think, so who knows it could be a wash.

I'll be interested to start talking to some contractors to see what options they come up with as well.
