Farm fenceing project plans! Drone tour of the farm!

What happens here

The farmer walks along the prepared fence lines, explaining the rationale behind leaving a 6 to 10-foot cleared path from the edge of wooded areas. This buffer allows for easy access with vehicles like a Kubota or tractor to mow and maintain the fence line, preventing overgrowth and damage from falling trees. He contrasts the appearance of pastures that have undergone rotational grazing (lush and green) with those yet to be grazed (brown and overgrown), emphasizing how the new fencing will enable effective rotational grazing for the cattle. He also mentions the possibility of using goats in the future for vegetation control along these paths.

Goal: Prepare the land for fencing and explain the benefits of the fencing strategy.
