Unfortunately, the old well is silted in and was just a sand point well. It only had 1 1/4 inch pipe. As Rod stated, It will take a larger diameter hole.

There have been several ponds built upstream that have to fill before I get significant runoff.

I think we also get less rain than we did 25 years ago. When I bought the place one neighbor told me he could not believe someone bought this "Swamp" He'd ran cattle on it for years. I still have no idea why he said that, he lives somewhere in Colorado now. The other neighbors say there used to be more rain and runoff as well.
