Rocheport sits where Moniteau Creek meets the Missouri River, and it has sat there since 1825. Fencing bottom ground is a different job from fencing the upland. The soil is deep alluvium, so an auger goes through it easily, and that is exactly the trap. Easy digging gives you a hole a post will not hold in. Wet bottom ground gets corners set deeper than the four feet we use up on the ridge, and we tamp the backfill in thin lifts to pack the soil back to the density it had before we drilled it.
Then there is the water. A fence that crosses a creek or a slough needs a floodgate, not a fixed panel. A floodgate swings up and lets debris through instead of catching it and taking your corner with it. We keep gates, corners, and anything else expensive up out of the flood path where the ground allows, because a gate rebuilt every spring is not a gate.
Where the fence climbs the bluff onto Menfro silt loam the ground changes again, and so does the post depth. We set to the ground we find, not to one number across the whole line.
