Farm Pond Beautifies Green County With New Scenic Lake
The Ernest Rufenacht farm near Monroe adds a four acre pond calmed by heavy rains and filling quickly to near capacity. County Soil Conservation head James Schwoegler notes the 20 to 30 million gallon impoundment reduces flood risk and aids water conservation while offering recreation and wildlife value near Kiwanis Youth Cabin. Federal support helps fund the project as other ponds are planned in the Smock Valley watershed.
