Reports say it never misses, and a commercial firm already manufactures it, boosting output and cutting labor. Fence post creosoting extends life, reduces yearly post needs, and saves costs. Creosoted poles last far longer than untreated ones. Field tests across Iowa favor creosoting soft woods and shipping posts for savings. Tractor use is praised when showing higher per acre returns due to deeper plowing and better timing, per Prof. Fletcher and a Ventura farmer.
