It will absolutely help. I'm battling this issue right now. I thought I was being smart by digging two ditches leading the water to my pond. Issue is my region is nothing but clay, so runoff is brown, brown, brown.
We did put rock around the ditch this weekend and put ag lime as well. We didn't have enough rock to lead all the way to the road ditch but got a little over halfway there. Did all this Friday thinking there was going to be a big rain Saturday and we got just a drizzle. haha.
