Farm Pond, located in Geary County, Kansas, is a privately owned earth dam structure with a maximum storage capacity of 164.7 acre-feet. This low-hazard potential dam serves the primary purpose of water retention for agricultural needs, with a normal storage level of 51.2 acre-feet and a surface area of 11.42 acres. The dam is equipped with a controlled spillway and has no outlet gates, making it a relatively simple structure in terms of design and functionality.

Managed by the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Farm Pond is subject to state regulations, inspections, and enforcement to ensure its safety and compliance with standards. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam is considered to have a very high risk due to its location and potential impact in the event of a failure. Although the condition of the dam is currently not rated, it is essential for the owners to adhere to regular inspection schedules, emergency action plans, and risk management measures to mitigate any potential threats and ensure the long-term sustainability of this vital water resource in the region.
