Bruce,

I hear you on the single brush stroke, but unfortunately that is the only color available up here. Funny thing, I brought up this very website and told him of the countless stories of the NRCS agents bending over backwards to help folks all over the country, but that meant nothing to him. What annoys me is that we are talking about a Federal agency, not a state/local entity that is subject to varying degrees of tax base. There should be some consistency throughout the states. Sorry for the rant.

Joe

PS If any Washington state NRCS folks are reading this, I challenge you to prove me wrong. Oh wait, why would they be reading a web site devoted to pond construction, they "don't do that" here.
