[QUOTE="Calhoun, post: 1819018, member: 40467"] I’m purchasing a roughly 20 acre tract of timberland that I will eventually turn into pasture or silvopasture. Ten acres are super nice, basically the crest of a hill that slopes gently away in each direction. The other half is the valley that drains the nice half and also is fed by a culvert underneath the highway funnelling more water through the valley. The drain itself appears to be about 10-15 feet deep and the bottom of the channel is about 30-50 feet across. It is currently dry and has pine trees growing in it. This drainage area runs from the road frontage to the back property line sort of cutting the property in half. I’m looking for ideas on how to make use of this area. I’ve thought about having the areas with steep slopes dozed into a shallow V and then trying to make it a grassed waterway. I guess a pond/lake would be an option. Any thoughts? [/QUOTE]
