First Pooling Agreement Brings Dam to Control Runoff
George Jung and George Coulter signed the county’s first pooling agreement last April to build a dam on the Jung farm to curb runoff that hindered soil conservation on the Coulter farm. The structure, holding 120 acre feet and using 23 000 cubic yards of earth, includes a grassed waterway to carry discharge across Coulter cropland. Completed in late November, it stores runoff from melting snow this spring and exemplifies solving conservation problems through study, cooperation and technical know how.
