Fishinrod, and other contributors to this thread:

You've got a fascinating discussion going here. Some clever ideas by the OP; some brilliant considerations by some of our real Heavyweights! I'm in awe of your inventiveness.

I have only one more comment right now, and the comment is made in jest, only because you, Rod, can be such a jokester at times.

"My forage ponds are going to be located in our tallgrass prairie field that we bail annually." Where do you send the water that you bail out of your tall grass prairie field before you bale it?
