America First? Farmers on Welfare? Rancher talks about Failing Farm Struggles

What happens here

The farmer drives his ATV to the cattle pasture, where he manually opens a large metal gate to allow access. He then works on the electric fence system, which includes a fence charger, electric fence wire, insulators, and posts. He hooks up the electric fence to move his cattle to a fresh section of pasture, emphasizing the importance of rotational grazing for soil health. He notes the upcoming snowfall, which necessitates preparing hay bales for the next day.

Goal: Set up or adjust electric fencing to facilitate cattle pasture rotation.
