As others have said, make darn sure what you want to do is legal, before investing a dime in anything. There have been instances in this area where wetlands have been allowed to be relocated, but more so for things like road construction, than for the benefit of farmers and ranchers. A close neighbor put in a new pivot about fifteen years ago, with an intermittent wetland within the boundaries of the circle, but close to the edge. It would have been a pretty simple and inexpensive project to relocate that intermittent wetland, hauling fill dirt into the area inside the circle, and relocating the wetland to the cut area outside the circle, in the dryland pasture corner immediately adjacent. NRCS would not allow the project, and while the area has stood no water in the dry spell we've gone through in recent years, it will rain again some day. I brought the matter to the attention of a congressman during a local meeting once, when there was a road construction project going on in the area on a state highway. The state was allowed to relocate permanent wetlands in an effort to reroute roadways for the sake of shortening distances from point a to b, instead of winding around between the sandhill lakes as had been done previously. While this was certainly the logical and prudent thing to do, especially with tax payer dollars, I asked the congressman why it was anymore logical and prudent than what my neighbor wanted to do, especially when his project was to be self funded. He said he was glad to hear of the situation, and that it made perfect sense to him, and that he would check into it. You can imagine how far it went. Anyway, good luck with draining your wet spot, but be careful with what you do. :wink:

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
