In Md., you would be 100% wrong. Ponds are to contain water, you’re supposed to pipe it out to watering troughs, etc for use. The natural resources conservation is coming out Tuesday to check our pond fences and take pictures of it.
The USDA guidelines under water quality suggest fencing out livestock, Md is saying you will do it. Hence the suggestion to check before you start.
Another example of government overreach if true.
Last I saw they suggest it in MD, but haven’t seen that it is required. I believe they only check if you took money from govt to pay for the fencing. They have programs to help pay for it.
