Are your tanks full?

I'd further erode that area with a grader, excavator, and fill it in with five or ten yards of the material.

Leave the vegetation which appears to do a pretty good job of controlling erosion and clear a couple of tracks for vehicle wheels. If used enough the vegetation in the "hump" between the wheel tracks will be knocked down enough to not be a problem. This approach will mitigate the erosion problem without having to use culvert pipes/bar ditches, etc. Just a thought.Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00189238486806238819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6120586935905234915.post-13164730213225328582012-09-29T21:44:51.572-05:002012-09-29T21:44:51.572-05:00Nice halter headed Ben's way I'm sure he w...Nice halter headed Ben's way I'm sure he will love it.
