At a farmers’ meeting in New Hampshire several offered to sell their farms for Jess th as fences on them cost. A. W. Cheever, editor of New England Farmer, analyzed national fencing costs showing $1.74 of fencing per $1.65 of stock and $2.45 of crops. He cites a 9 year slice of Washington statistics and tallies national fencing at about $2 billion with annual upkeep near $200 million. New York alone has 75,000 miles of roads needing 150,000 miles of fencing costing over $40 million. He suggests cutting fencing costs could save hundreds of millions.
