My new property is a small 2 acre lot on the edge of my new home...currently there is a large corn field to the north, and a county road to the south, with the neighbors grain bin and my house to the east and west.

I would like to make a "spot" of water hopefully enough to support some fish, but primarily for the traffic geese in the area.

My pasture is currently the "run off" water way for the corn field. There is an old windmill/well on the site as well.

Is there even a way for me to build on this small of a site and not effect the farmers field?

I am located in central Illinois, what would be my first step in seeing if this location will work.

Any ideas? Sorry so vague but I don't know what questions to ask.

thanks,

CS
