What happens here

The farmer continues his fence inspection, driving along the back of the property. He looks for any trees that may have fallen on the fence, given recent storms, and checks the integrity of the electric poly wire. He finds a section of poly wire that was damaged by his tractor the previous week. He manually repairs this broken section by tying the poly wire ends together, demonstrating how easily poly wire can be tied. He emphasizes the importance of a clear buffer zone (12-16 feet) between the treeline and the fence to prevent trees from falling and damaging the fence.

Goal: Complete fence inspection and repair any identified damage to ensure secure pastures.
