Missouri Woods & Water - Farm Pond Management

This week on the Missouri Woods & Water podcast, Nate and Andy talk with Fisheries Program Specialist Andrew Branson with the Missouri Department of Conservation about pond management.  More specifically, the guys and Andrew talk about all of the things that go into having a healthy pond so that it can be enjoyed.  Our guest from MDC gives good information about aquatic vegetation, preferred fish species to stock, species that are undesirable, things to consider when building a pond, circumstances that surround fish kills, conditions that lead to "muddy" water, and much more.  If you are interested in improving your pond's fish and overall health, stick around and enjoy the show.MDC Show Links:General Pond Help - https://short.mdc.mo.gov/ZNaStocking Your Pond -   https://mdc.mo.gov/property/improve-my-property/habitat-management/pond-stream-care/ponds-fish-frog-management/stockingMissouri Fish Producers - https://mdc.mo.gov/property/pond-stream-care/ponds-fish-frog-management/missouri-fish-producersMinimizing Fish Kills - https://mdc.mo.gov/property/pond-stream-care/ponds-fish-frog-management/missouri-fish-producersOverstocked Bass - https://mdc.mo.gov/sites/default/files/downloads/stockpiledbass.pdfNuisance Aquatic Plant Control - https://mdc.mo.gov/property/pond-stream-care/ponds-plant-management/nuisance-aquatic-plant-id Missouri Woods & Water is Powered by Simplecast Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
