What would be the best way of going about this? Dad is looking into acquiring some land (150+ acres) and we want to build a range on one part of the land.
I've got all the plans down for a bench and everything else, but I want to be damn sure we get a good berm set up. |

Depends on several things. What distance, topograhpy, direction relative to sun position, neighbors, etc. Could you give more info, or a google map? Thing is, we're not sure where he's gonna buy yet. Somewhere a bit south of me - so around LaCygne, KS. Right near Fort Scott - in that general area. I figure it sure as hell can't be as easy as just bringing some equipment down and scooping up a big old mound of dirt. Gotta be more to it than that. |

Being in KS, is it safe to assume the land will be reasonably flat? |
