Thank you so much Theo! and I could actually use a little more elevation! We are flllaaatttttt. I do have a general decline though hence the pond for my swamp management, overflow and spillway will allow the excess water to drain to the back where there are already drainage ditches in place from previous property owners. Thank you again for the input! I'm not opposed to aggressively managing, the pond is beside the house and behind my barn, so convenience is there smile
