Normal Day of Farm Chores turns into GOVERNMENT PHOTOGRAPHY OVER THE FARM!
What happens here
The farmer drives his ATV to a fence line where a large paper birch tree has fallen, knocking down a section of the fence. He first uses pliers to untwist the metal ties securing the bottom of the fence to the steel posts. With the ties loosened, he demonstrates how the fence fabric springs back up due to tension, essentially 'self-repairing' to some extent. He uses his weight to pull up the fence and secure it back to the post, restoring its integrity.
Goal: Restore the integrity of the fence line damaged by a fallen tree.
