Identify the Problem Area

What happens here

Walk along your electric fence lines to locate sections where tall vegetation, like broom sedge, has grown high enough to touch the fence wire. This overgrowth can ground out the electric fence, reducing its effectiveness in containing livestock. The video illustrates dense, dry broom sedge reaching several feet in height against the fence.

Goal: The first step is to identify areas where vegetation, specifically broom sedge, is growing too tall and interfering with electric fences, potentially grounding them out. The video shows tall, dry grass along an electric fence line.
