What happens here
The presenter outlines the detailed fencing strategy for the farm. Using a digital GIS map on his computer, he illustrates how the new fence will encompass over 30 acres, integrating forested areas to create 'silver pasture' for rotational grazing. He explains that the first step in actual fence construction is to drive in the robust corner and bend posts. After these are in place, a high-tensile wire will be run to establish the main fence lines. Finally, lighter line posts will be marked and installed along these main wire runs. He notes that the new fence will connect to existing fence lines on the property, creating a more efficient grazing system.
Goal: Establish the precise location of corner, bend, and line posts for the new fence.
