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 - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
