Farm Fence Installation in Harrisburg, MO
Columbia Farm Fence installs field fence and woven wire, high-tensile and electric fence, barbed wire, board fence, pipe corrals, and farm gates in Harrisburg, Missouri. We are licensed and insured in Missouri and we work the west side of Boone County.
This is old farm country. The first cabin in the county went up near here in 1812, and the town took its name from a man who ran a model farm out on Thrall's Prairie. Ground that has been fenced for that long carries fence lines nobody has touched in decades. Cedar grows into them, rotted posts hang off the wire, and the old strands lie buried in sod. Clearing the line is the first cost on jobs like this and the cheapest one you will pay. We cut and pile the brush, pull the old wire and posts, haul them off, and stake a straight line before an auger ever turns.
Posts rot at the ground line, where air and water meet, not at the tip. That is why we set pressure treated southern pine at ground contact retention, hedge, or steel. A lightly treated post looks fine for ten years and then walks over in one wind.
Prairie upland out here rolls more than it looks like it does from the road. We shorten line post spacing over the rises and where cattle crowd a corner, and we keep the wire against the ground through the draws.
