Inspecting & Discussing Flooded Fence Damage
At 31:00 in
You tell me....Is this the wrong way to farm?
What happens here
The farmer visits a section of the farm prone to severe flooding, showing the aftermath of a recent heavy rainfall that resulted in 5 inches of rain within 20 minutes. He points out how the floodwaters pushed against a fence line, bending and breaking several fence posts and creating a significant debris pile of branches and sediment. He explains that this is a recurring problem with 'bottom land' on a farm. He discusses potential solutions, such as building up the area with dirt, constructing a 'break fence' to catch debris upstream, or allowing the area to remain natural habitat. He also shares a tip on how to differentiate a buck's hoof print from a doe's print.
Goal: Assess and plan repairs for flood-damaged fence lines
