I'm all about being left alone on my farm, but people need to use some sence. Just because you own a piece of land for your adult lifespan (30-40 years) or however long doesn't mean that you should be blesssed with the right to ruin it forever. Now I'm not saying that building a pond is going to ruin land... Hear me out. I'm making a different point. One good example of what I'm saying is Louisiana, which is full of ruined land that had chemicals dumped on it by someone doing what they wanted with "their own land". The chemical company or whoever may have paid the lanowner in 1959 some great amount of money (probably like $250.00!) to let him put the stuff there. The landowner, the company, and the $250.00 may be long gone, but the chemicals are still there, and the land is ruined forever (or until the Army Corps of Engineers comes and cleans it up - to the tune of millions of dollars). Similar situation on my farm. A previous landowner took the money to let an oil company put a salt water injection well here. Ruined the fresh water table, but he was doing what he wanted with "his own land", and probably got some huge sum that he could blow on whatever... like a brand new 1963 Chevy pickup that has since been melted down and turned into boat anchors or something. The problem is that that previous owner is long long gone, but the water is still ruined. Just my 2 cents...
