Water, Water, Everywhere: Another New Pond

The drought a few years ago had raised our awareness of how precious water can be. Our newest hobby of control burning had also brought to light the benefits of surface water for fire suppression. We had dug one pond two years ago but had always felt another pond would benefit the north pastures. The current NRCS contract called for a bulldozer to clear the stumps within forest openings areas. Since the equipment was on site, we decided to have another pond dug. This pond when full will bring our total number of ponds to four.
