Once you accept help for this and fencing of the creek, when your cow gets out and pee's in the creek you are in violation of clean air and water laws, and can and will be fined for polluting the creek. I looked into some of the fencing programs a couple years back. They wanted me to bulldoze 50 feet on each side of the creek, then build the fence on each side and plant back trees. Then if my cows ever got in the creek again I could be held liable for the pollution they deposited in the creek. Now how stupid is it to push down nice mature trees, and then plant back new trees after disturbing the soil on both sides and loosing lots of it to erosion while waiting on new trees to grow. No Thank You. They can stay out of my business and off my farm.
Our guvmint rep suggested I put a gate in the fence to give the cows access to the creek in case the well goes out for extended times. I do not have to clear any property along the creek, just plant 5 trees. It is based on how much property I am giving up. Since it is all of .04 acre, I only have to plant 5 tress. I will also get a very small annual compensation check for the .04 acres.

In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
