Maintaining Small Dams
Dams are a valuable asset. They usually impound water with little input from the owner, and problems that occur usually are minor. Problems can worsen, however, and can become more expensive to repair if not fixed promptly. When a dam needs work, do it as soon as possible. A minor problem can turn into a major reconstruction project or even result in dam failure. This guide describes actions you should take and items you should check to keep your small dams in good repair. For the purposes of this guide, small dams are defined as less than 35 feet high and located so that any damage that may occur from dam failure is limited to farm buildings, agricultural land or township and country roads.
Valentin Pfost/Post, 1740-1800 of Hardy County (West) Virginia and Some of His Descendants
Descendants of Valentin Post have been traced for six generations. Female lines have been traced only one generation past the surname. Valentin Pose was born in 1740 and died 27 Oct 1800. He married ca. 1772 to Barbara Derlin/Devlin? who was born 17 Jan 1751 and died ca. 1831. They were the parents of seven children.
Soil Compaction
Soil compaction is becoming a more serious problem for farmers. Field machines tend to be heaver, and there is motivation for farmers to work the soil when it is too moist. Because compacted soil has smaller pores and fewer natural channels, water infiltration is drastically reduced. This causes greater surface wetness, more runoff (which increases erosion) and longer drying time. Wet fields delay planting and harvesting and decrease crop yields. Plant roots don't grow well in dense soil. Inadequate moisture and nutrients reach the plant and yield is reduced. This guide explains the causes and effects of soil compaction.
