JxxxOxxxE,

Hey Joe welcome,

The NRCS is giving you stats on what they belive will work with what little bit of land you have. I am sure someone else here can get a bit more accurate with this, but I belive for a 3 acre pond NRCS would like you have about 30 acres of watershed. A one acre pond should have a 8- to 12-acre watershed, or approximately three to five acres of drainage area for each acre-foot of water storage. Course this could change if you have a way to pump in water all the time when needed.

The only difference between a rut and a Grave is the depth. So get up get out of that rut and get moving!! Time to work!!
