(be amazed at what "farmers" can get away with). old power line is underground now but i was too lazy to remove the old pole at the time (thank goodness). seems to work very well for me and get great hight

I think you are pulling my leg. You must live on a very small farm. The farms that I know are wide open, why would you need the high?
MrPig Bronze Member Username: Pffft Ya Right Post Number: 88 Registered: Jan-07	Posted on Saturday, February 17, 2007 - 16:07 GMT MrPig has nothing to do with the farm, ive got a full section of land but we own what they call "the mountain" highest peak in Alberta thats not a mountain, and i live on the lower side of it. and not all farms are fully cleared, i do have tree's around me as well.
