A New Take On Traditional Equipment

Whenever you hear the word “farm”, a very common notion is that you are an uncivilized redneck from some never heard of town with gravel roads and no electricity. But that really isnt the situation on farm lands these days, with the advancements in recent technology, you’d be surprised  to know that some farms have equipment to harness renewable sources like a micro hydro plant or windmills to generate power for its operations. Moreover, other farm equipment has been improved taking traditional methods to adapt them to suit modern needs. One of these is farm fencing.

                Fences are very important in farms because they are what keep the livestock within the confines of the land. Traditionally, posts would be set up and wires or planks would surround the posts and create a barrier to prevent livestock from getting out. Of course, this wouldn’t prevent persistent ones from trying to break free. This brings me to electric fence wire; this is simply a conductive wire that you can use to replace old farm fencing and run electric current through it resulting in a slight electric shock to the livestock upon contact. The voltage is just right such that it will make the animal avoid contact in the future with no serious harm inflicted.
