Fences Last As Long as 50 Years
Agricultural expert Ted L Willrich of Iowa State College explains how fences can last 30 to 50 years. He cites four main failure causes: lifted corner posts, improper tension, barbed wire strain, and short lived native timber posts. He recommends double span corners, careful brace installation, looser tension, appropriate barbed wire spacing, and cedar or Osage orange posts or creosote-treated equivalents for longevity.

Pays to Take Straw Off Red Clover Seedings
Iowa State College agronomist Harvey Thompson says removing straw from red clover seedings yields two benefits. Bale straw for winter bedding and prevent shading of the seeding, aiding weed control. If growth is heavy, mow stubble or harvest before Sept 15 to let plants store root reserves for winter, though dense growth can harbor mice and harm crowns.
