Farm ponds have many uses

By RANDY HAIST Soil Conservation Service Farm ponds are man-made resources that have many uses Farm ponds are constructed by the use of a dam or by excavating in a low area; or a combination of both The Soil Conservation Service has designed ponds for sediment retention, soil and water erosion control and wildlife-recreational uses. Other uses include water supply for irrigation, livestock and fire control. The construction of a pond takes into account many variables that must be determined before any work can begin The selection of a proper site takes into account the natural drainage of the area, the type of soil to be used, the amount of watershed that will drain into the pond and the amount of surface runoff that will occur. Ideally, using a natural drainageway such as a low. wet spot or a small “valley" like area is the best. These areas offer easily adaptable pond construction with the least amount of cost. Also, with the use of natural drainage ways, the least amount of ecological disturbance will take place. Soil types will determine how well the pond will hold water Sandy or gravelly soils are less suited for pond sites because water drains away too fast. Clayey soils are well suited and hold water because thev are

tightly structured The same rules apply for the watershed area above the pond. Soil types will control how much surface runoff will reach the pond and how much water will penetrate the soil before it reaches the pond. The amount of watershed must be determined so proper design of a dam and outlet can be made. The pond also is designed to be able to store storm water without damage to the dam or outlet

below the dam. Many other factors are used in pond construction. If all the data is correctly gathered and used, many years of agricultural and recreational use can be realized. Multiple-use ponds cat) conserve soil and water and provide personal use. while at the same time improving the aesthetic quality of the landscape.

Farmers advised to plan ahead for storage “More and more producers are putting additional storage and drying equipment on their farms.” Phil Braman, of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service said Farmers who have adequate onfarm storage and drying facilities have greater crop handling and marketing flexibility at harvesttime, he added The ASCS farm storage facility and drying equipment program offers loans to help farmers buy. build, or remodel on-farm storage facilities and to get the drying and handling equipment they need. “Because of the elapsed time the decision to.put up additional storage and completing the structure, it is important that farmers plan ahead, so that the storage will be available when needed." Braman said. With delays m delivery schedules, inclement weather and other . untoreseen circumstances. producers should decide now whether or not they need additional storage for fallharvested crops. • According to Braman, farmers can borrow up to $50,000 on facilities adequate to store two year’s crops, with 15 per cent down and seven per cent interest, to build typical, conventional type on-farm storage facilities such as steel bins, wooden granaries, and wet storage structures. They can obtain a loan to build high moisture forage and silage facilities on their farms, and to remodel existing storage structures. The ASCS official said the facility loans are secured loans and borrowers must provide adequate security to protect CCC’s interest. Provisions of the program were broadened and liberalized during the past year, to increase on-farm storage and to insure adequate space for the 1973 harvest, as well as grain placed in the reserve urogram.
