Are you talking to Wallace Fish Farm? He is probably in your neck of the woods. Charles did my initial stocking.
Yes.
Charles is a good source.
A lot more ponds in Kansas don't have aeration than do. By about 999 to one. You likely will not have much problem as long as you do not push the carrying capacity excessively.
The one slight worry is that you have a deep pond (for this part of Kansas) with a lot of runoff. That could be a bad combination in that deep means a lot of anoxic water in the summer during stratification and large watershed means the potential for a "turn over" event after a heavy rain. That said I am unaware of any significant fish kill problems in this part of the world and I would not expect much problem unless you go to feeding heavily and upping the total fish carrying capacity. Keep it pretty naturally fed and you likely will be ok.
I have 3 ponds aereated, one not and another recently built one that will not be aereated.
