Thank you for the info. Will be sure to get the book. Buying the property isn't contingent on weather or not we can put a pond on it. The acreage is adjacent to our existing 25 acres, so we want it regardless, but being able to put a pond on it would be a bonus.
There aren't any ravines to dam up. This is very FLAT land. There are several small ponds in the area, and they are all dug ponds, I have noticed some seem to hold water better than others.
It appears that the land on the tract we are hoping to buy is mostly Roanoke Silt loam, with a small area (about 3 acres) of Bladen Fine Sandy loam. Our existing property, which is all cleared and in pasture land is Lenoir Loam, with a 1% slope, and more of the bladen sandy loam. Not sure if that helps at all....
Is the Aquaculture extension part of the agriculture extension office?
Thanks again.
