I am having a 1.25 acre pond built that I am going to be stocking with LB, bluegill and maybe catfish. The question I have is there is currently a drain tile that comes from neighboring farm fields (growing corn & soybeans)that exits where the pond is being built. The excavator is going to dig it back to just before the pond and let it drain into the pond when complete. Do I need to be concerned about any of the pesticides that the farmers use, draining into the pond and affecting the fish or will it be so diluted by then that it wont make a difference?
Thanks Jeff
