Thanks for all the information. I will definitely get in touch with the NRCS office very soon. I believe there is actually a small NRCS office in my town that I can go to.

I am leaning toward using the dirt moving but will see what pond builders I have in the area. I will see what they will charge to build the damn / Pond that I would like. I will for sure call Mr. Otto for consultation if I go with the dirt mover. I don't expect his help for free, I will gladly pay him if it comes to it.

I have to get a logging company in to log out some timber, hoping that will help offset some of the cost for this pond.

Once again thanks for all the input, I do greatly appreciate it.
