I learned this in 1980-85 a farmer likes plenty of rain and sunshine if not to much or to little as long as it comes on days he has chosen. Hope that you aren’t tired of me repeating it. Thank you Sir
I subscribed when you just had the farm, the Linkbelt, the mobile home and a giant burn pile in the middle of the cow pasture, you said that was 11 years ago I had no idea I have been watching that long all are quality videos so I will definitely pray for clear skies in NC
WOW, water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink......Gosh! And, here we are in south central Texas and still experiencing a drought situation. Good news, everything is so green...and, you know the new pond will fill-up quickly when it is ready. Thanks for the tour.
Wow I cannot believe your rainfall. Driveway is holding up well. Glad all your hay is under cover. It's time to play will Winston and the boys. Thanks for the the pond tour.
Perfect timing to get hay crop in! Is it possible to fly the drone around and you talk about what was there when you bought the farm, what you’ve done so far and any plan you have? It’s just difficult sometimes to fit all the bits of the jigsaw together. Stay safe!
As it looks like you are going to have a ‘wet week off’, how about grabbing the camera + drone and doing a revisit of all the Dams you have most recently built to check how full they are and how they faired after the storm? I would love to see the Dam you built with the big Volvo you got lent! Cheers.
Thanks for sharing my friend and I’ll be praying for some sunny skies for y’all Chris! Kirk from Louisiana, thanks!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👌🏻👌🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
That is a lot of rain water! Thank goodness you got most of the depth dug on the pond. I look forward to seeing you working on it soon. I see Bealy Good has a lot of water flowing in and out of his pond also. Cheers
2" Saturday, 3" Sunday here in South Central Pennsylvania, Chris. The mighty Susquehanna River went from 4' at Harrisburg... predicted to crest at 8 1/2'. 😳 We needed the rain...but not all at once! 😉
Looks like everything is holding up. Does look like the new pond will need a large overflow. Hoping for a dry out there soon. Already anticipating the finish of the new pond. Was nice to see the Bealy Good Pond full and the overflow in action as well.
My gracious, you are having a flood out there!!! That is a tremendous amt of water flowing n from all. You have done great job deterring water off roads with culverts. Thank u for video. God's blessings and stay dry and safe!
Hi Chris, Looking at the pond overflow but more to the water level; how you made the dam just how level it is, looking at the waterline, great video. Mike GB
Wow - soooooooooooooooooooooo much Water - well all Your Ponds are Maxed Out - the Birds love the Rain ! Fantastic Water Run Off - as You hoped it will do ! Call Yourself a Water Engineer ! Lovely Video and many Cheers from Australia !!!!
Great update! Always loved seeing how my "figuring" for drainage actual works. Can't fool the water! Chris, any chance of seeing that huge mud bowl pond work came out after you left. As I recall someone else was going to finish the dam and put in a large water fall. There was a huge house being constructed and you and John hauled hundreds of loads of mud soup and created another large mud mesa nearby?? Just curious. Thanks for all the videos and all you do! Jim.
Well we had record breaking snow fall since December until 30th of April, 188 feet of snow and now the flooding is bad with the 3 inches of rain the last few days and all the snow is gone. In Northern Wisconsin in Bayfield county Wisconsin near Lake Superior's south shore in Bayfield county Wisconsin
You put excellent thought into the matter of keeping it flowing right through where you intended it to go to keep the a-rosin too a minimum and keeping flood damage down you are da man Chris 👍😎🇺🇸 NY
Hey Chris...looks like you need more ponds to hold all of this excess water. Looks like the hay field is revocering nicely and maybe you can get a 2nd cutting if it will stay cool for a bit longer.
I didn't realize how long I have been watching your videos until you mentioned 10 years. I remember you setting up the mobile mansion. Thanks for all the great videos.
The last few days of this storm realy hit the East coast hard and I am glad your new farm took the heavy rain quit well do to the time you put into those ponds etc.
These rains have been crazy! We havent' been able to get any work done on our place because of how wet the ground is. Had a few new streams get cut in through our woods where we have never seen water go before.
Impressive water. You are a good steward of your land, Chris. You know you property pretty damn well, know where water is coming and going and how to manipulate it.
When we built our 10 acre lake there was a 5 inch rain two weeks after we finished it. There was 6 inches left before it was completely full. The depth was 24 feet deep on the dam. We were worried about the dam holding that kind of pressure only two weeks after it was built but she held fine. Are you going to fence your ponds if you have cattle grazing your fields. We always put a freeze proof tank at the base of the lake dam with a large pad of gravel. You can peek over the dam morning and evening watching the deer licking the mineral blocks and drinking from the tank. We tried a pond windmill to keep the water from freezing but the darned storm winds tear up the windmills.
Rain always sucks unless you need a break and your trying to figure out your low places or flow however we all know Chris needs a break he knows the flow so enjoy while you can it's going be a hot one this year Chris already hot here in south Texas great vidg
When we have heavy rain here in Tennessee, I find myself tracking it to see when it may affect you, the same weather moved through here, next you are going have to deal with the wind, if you haven't already had it. And if providing us with GREAT VIDEOS, means putting yourself in harm's way, we can and will be just fine without 1.
Just wondering can the “Bealy Good Pond” overflow keep up in heavy rain like this?? These smaller ponds were maxing out a 12” pipe what’s a 5 acre pond overflow look like.
Chris all I think of now is that how good it is to get the hay in under cover before all this rain. The pond and everything can wait, but not hay where you waited all year for the grass to grow
When I lived in Charlotte, N.C. (1982) I don't think of the low ground. I just remember the hills and blue skies. It was my next state choice to retire in.
A nice big quartz waterfall would look nice at the head section of your new pond. That's a lot of water flowing in there. You could have an all quartz waterfall. I'll bet that would look great with water coming over the top of it
Back-to-back balloon videos! Thank you for posting this. It's fascinating to see such large volumes of water like that.. glad everything is holding up though.
Looks like you need a few more ditches on both sides of the new road and a few more cross tiles wouldn’t hurt either, that’s what I suggested when you were putting that road in.
Just think if this had been one year ago. You were just starting the logging deck for the Bealy Good project.😲You didn't show it (probably since you couldn't take the side by side down there) but how is the 'marshland' fairing where all the water was running along your property line? Sorry for the forced vacation, here's hoping things dry out soon.
Since you won't be doing any pond work for a while, you might want to think about building an ark. The Bealy Good family needs to build one, too. So much rain for your state! Wow!!!
You have a lot of ponds, not surprised as you have the equipment, skill and property that makes ponds easy and beautiful. Is there any practical purpose to any of these ponds?
If only you could share a bit of that with western Kansas. No wheat or grass for our cattle. It sure is pretty to see that much water ,green is my favorite color now.
Wow, what happened up there Chris, looks like the sky fell on y’all! That’s a lot of water brother, I imagine that the new pond is filled and what do you think about the old pond, I hope the old pond dam is holding up on it, 😮 WOW, well your hay field is loving this stuff Chris, probably double growing rate for hay!

The timing of your hay crop couldn’t have been better 😊

No kidding. Has it really been that long? Geeze where has the time gone. Wonder how many videos we have watched since then🤣
Count your blessings. I live in the desert southwest and am deeply envious of your forests, ponds, rivers and green things. 🙂
Looks like the guy who graded all of this (driveway, etc. ) did a beautiful job.
And I hope he got paid very well for the great job he did. Thanks for sharing, Chris. Job well done, sir.
He needs to rethink the overflow size!
WOW, water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink......Gosh! And, here we are in south central Texas and still experiencing a drought situation. Good news, everything is so green...and, you know the new pond will fill-up quickly when it is ready. Thanks for the tour.
Wow I cannot believe your rainfall. Driveway is holding up well. Glad all your hay is under cover. It's time to play will Winston and the boys. Thanks for the the pond tour.
Thanks for taking us along for a tour Chris! Should be a nice weather run here comin up...
Perfect timing to get hay crop in! Is it possible to fly the drone around and you talk about what was there when you bought the farm, what you’ve done so far and any plan you have? It’s just difficult sometimes to fit all the bits of the jigsaw together. Stay safe!
That's an impressive amount of water Chris! Thanks for taking us along and sharing all that.

I pray for sunny days for us both, as I’m waiting for snow to melt to head out in the Rv. Great video once again. 😀👍
Impressive water run off. Looks like everything was well planned out. You have executed it well sir. Thanks for the tag along video sir.
That is a lot of rain water! Thank goodness you got most of the depth dug on the pond. I look forward to seeing you working on it soon. I see Bealy Good has a lot of water flowing in and out of his pond also. Cheers
Been rain here too in my part of Ontario, Canada.
2" Saturday, 3" Sunday here in South Central Pennsylvania, Chris.

It rained for 3 days here in Anson county and we only got an inch or 2 total.
You gotta call in post10 to clear it up
The overflow at the new pond has to be a big one!
My gracious, you are having a flood out there!!! That is a tremendous amt of water flowing n from all. You have done great job deterring water off roads with culverts. Thank u for video. God's blessings and stay dry and safe!
I’m in Seattle and we have a reputation for rain BUT we can’t hold a candle to what you have going on there! Color me impressed!
Hi Chris, Looking at the pond overflow but more to the water level; how you made the dam just how level it is, looking at the waterline, great video.
Mike GB
lakes and ponds..water everywhere under control!! .Wow you do good work
Wow - soooooooooooooooooooooo much Water - well all Your Ponds are Maxed Out - the Birds love the Rain ! Fantastic Water Run Off - as You hoped it will do ! Call Yourself a Water Engineer ! Lovely Video and many Cheers from Australia !!!!
Now that is a lot of rain when all the ponds are to the max and steady flowing fast. Thanks for the video
Great update! Always loved seeing how my "figuring" for drainage actual works. Can't fool the water!

Chris it is amazing how you design your ponds and they work well.
Wow hopefully u will be ok thanks for sharing sunny days ahead 👍👋🇨🇦
Well we had record breaking snow fall since December until 30th of April, 188 feet of snow and now the flooding is bad with the 3 inches of rain the last few days and all the snow is gone.

Welcome to the club, from along the Mississippi in Iowa.

That's a lot of water.
Thanks for taking us along.
Wow! That's a lot of water. Thanks for the videos.
❤ the hay field is nice and green 🤗👍thanks Chris 🍺

Nice water control. Great to use the rainy days to monitor your run off. You are a great land manager.
Thanks for the grand tour Chris. At least the ducks are happy. We're getting gusty winds to the south.
These rains have been crazy! We havent' been able to get any work done on our place because of how wet the ground is. Had a few new streams get cut in through our woods where we have never seen water go before.
Wow. Incredible amount of water! I remember the huge flows you had from hurricane Matthew.
Impressive water. You are a good steward of your land, Chris. You know you property pretty damn well, know where water is coming and going and how to manipulate it.
What a beautiful, beautiful place you are blessed to live in
It's flowing nicely every where. Would have been nice to had the pond done. It will be a few days before any work can be done for sure.
When we built our 10 acre lake there was a 5 inch rain two weeks after we finished it. There was 6 inches left before it was completely full. The depth was 24 feet deep on the dam. We were worried about the dam holding that kind of pressure only two weeks after it was built but she held fine.

Just got 6 inches in maine
Ya got a good start on second crop hay! Made to first crop just in time. Bealy’s pond is going to be a mess! Over full!
“I probably shouldn’t be out here” ⚡️⚡️💥 Famous last words 😆 Stay safe!
Rain always sucks unless you need a break and your trying to figure out your low places or flow however we all know Chris needs a break he knows the flow so enjoy while you can it's going be a hot one this year Chris already hot here in south Texas great vidg
And to think hurricane season isn't even here yet...
Nice little trip between the ponds 😊😊
I totally agree with your statement that it probably won't rain know where near as bad when you get the pond dam finished.
Hay field looks like a rice patty! We had a wet weekend, went from being way to dry to downpours for 3 days. The river is up!
I'm about 35 miles southeast lake michigan in indiana we had light snow & steady rain all day long !
Wow. That’s a lot of rain. Sure looks good in your ponds.
You’re liable to get another hay cutting pretty soon! I love it when all the lakes and ponds are full. God bless y’all.
Greetings from Germany! 😊
I'm in WV we been getting rain, wind, and yucky cold temperatures... I hate it lol .. stay safe 😢
Wow😮 that is a lot of water. Stay safe

I’m about a hour west of Chris and your right about the wind. It was about 20 mph today and they said possible 30 to 40 mph tomorrow and Wednesday.
Just wondering can the “Bealy Good Pond” overflow keep up in heavy rain like this?? These smaller ponds were maxing out a 12” pipe what’s a 5 acre pond overflow look like.
Chris all I think of now is that how good it is to get the hay in under cover before all this rain. The pond and everything can wait, but not hay where you waited all year for the grass to grow
That is some crazy flow into the new pond
That’s a lot of water! We could use some nice sunny weather up here in Nwpa also.
When I lived in Charlotte, N.C. (1982) I don't think of the low ground. I just remember the hills and blue skies. It was my next state choice to retire in.
That's a lot of water! Also, the Bealy lake seems to have handled the water quite well. Though he needs to raise or float his dock!
A nice big quartz waterfall would look nice at the head section of your new pond. That's a lot of water flowing in there. You could have an all quartz waterfall. I'll bet that would look great with water coming over the top of it
Great video Chris 🇺🇸
Y’all are getting hammered down there.
CHAWANGA! Dats alot of FLOOOOO! 😱😝🤪🤣😁👍👍🇺🇲
Tennessee here, looks like yall getting what we got last year...i just wish it would warm up here. been a cold spring time!
Yes, impressive is the word for it. You got a lot of water there. Thanks for the video.
THANKS!
Wow!! You caught some big rain!! Remember those hurricane rainstorms where it all flooded!
Back-to-back balloon videos!
Thank you for posting this. It's fascinating to see such large volumes of water like that.. glad everything is holding up though.
Prayers for sure!!!🙏🙏🙏 🌞 🌞 🌞....🎈🎈🎈

Wow that's amazing amount of water.
That’s a lot of water Chris. Thank goodness you got the hay cut & baled😊
Chris you did and awesome job grading and planning all of the two farms , looks great
Water, water, everywhere and MORE than a drop to drink.
Chris never see Winston anymore sure hope he is ok .he is one beautiful dog.
Everything holding up nicely.
Nice shots. Like the tour❤❤❤❤
Since you won't be doing any pond work for a while, you might want to think about building an ark. The Bealy Good family needs to build one, too. So much rain for your state! Wow!!!
Take a 2~iron with ya in a storm. Not even lightning can hit a 2-iron!
On hosepipe ban from last year here in England
Bealy good is flooding?
Goodness. Enjoyed watching ✌️ 😎
You have a lot of ponds, not surprised as you have the equipment, skill and property that makes ponds easy and beautiful. Is there any practical purpose to any of these ponds?
How many ponds do you have on the farm? I lost count...lol The hay looks real pretty.
If only you could share a bit of that with western Kansas. No wheat or grass for our cattle. It sure is pretty to see that much water ,green is my favorite color now.
Looks like you will have a great second cutting of hay.
Great Video Thanks Chris!!👍👍
Wow, what happened up there Chris, looks like the sky fell on y’all! That’s a lot of water brother, I imagine that the new pond is filled and what do you think about the old pond, I hope the old pond dam is holding up on it, 😮 WOW, well your hay field is loving this stuff Chris, probably double growing rate for hay!
Chris no worries, you're doing great
It appears that you planted the wrong crop, it should have been rice! LOL!!! J.R.
