Farm Fence Installation in New Franklin, MO
Columbia Farm Fence installs farm fence in New Franklin, Missouri. Barbed wire, woven wire and field fence, high-tensile smooth wire, board fence, pipe corrals, and farm gates all come off our trailer. We are licensed and insured in Missouri and we cover Howard County ground across the river from Boone.
The river taught this town its lesson early. Old Franklin stood on the north bank from 1816 and was the county seat until the floods of 1826 and 1828 took it. People rebuilt on higher ground in 1828 and stayed there. The same choice still shapes fence work in the Boonslick bottoms. We put corners, hinge posts, and working pens on the high side wherever the layout allows, and we run floodgates where a line has to cross water. A brace assembly you can walk to in April is worth more than one you rebuild after every rise.
Bottom ground stays wet and holds a post loosely. Wet ground gets deeper setting, larger brace posts, and backfill tamped in layers. We do not pour concrete around treated wood. Concrete belongs under steel pipe, and pipe is what we use for corral posts and heavy working pens where bulls push.
Up on the loess ridges the digging turns to silt over clay, and the frost line matters more than the water table does.
