Sparkplug your right about the sinkholes, the north east corner of my farm is littered with them
thats also were my 1 acre pond is, and is the reason it is not any bigger. Every year when I plow, I collect tons of stone, I dump them in those holes, and they still are not filled up,
My neighbor says that they are probably (the stones) traveling under ground back to my fields
The five acre lake is for my amusement to be honest, but I told the boss (wife
) that it was necessary in order to flood out the foxes who eat her chickens.
But we all know that these days that we need to try to keep as much water as we can on our land.
Dave D. thanks I will look into siphons, and the spring on my one acre pond sits about even with the top water level and flows in so far no problems
esshup, I have been collaborating with the NRCS , they have been great, and have helped me with an equip program thats helped create watering sites and fences for my stock, that keeps them out of my creeks and ponds.
thanks all
