[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 9090841, member: 86168"] we have had the water refill our lagoon 3 times this year, run off the hills. hopefully cured it from happening again, dug 2 new ditches, cleaned out, and deepened two more. My flood was 4/6 ins deep in the calf shed, hfr straw yard was turned into slurry, and got under the home mix, and a pond reappeared in the middle of the shed, where there was no concrete. water is pouring into the dirty water tanks, found the cause, when the above shed was built, back in the 70's, they drained the 'wet spot' that had been a pond, into the main farm drain :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: to be fair, hasn't really caused a problem before, not even in may. Dug a big pond to catch any farm run off, years ago, currently thinking of setting up a reed bed between tank and pond. Digging up the drain, would entail a lot of concrete coming up, and would need a dog leg bend, so will go with the cheaper option. [USER=81760]@Jdunn55[/USER] can you dig a ditch behind your buildings, to divert the water, very cheap and effective solution, flooding anywhere is a bugger. the last time we had anything like this year, farrowing house was 6ins deep, piglets were swimming. Punched a hole through a biggish bank, and drained it, and received a bollocking from OM, for using the tractor bucket, he saw the bank, before the shed. Never lost a piglet though, plus the shed had a good wash. but we all get disasters, its the ability to work out a quick solution that's the key, and l always reckon they come in 3's. so once we have 1, looking for 2&3, then relax abit.
