Planned Land Use
Below is a detail of the planned land use of the upper pasture area. (Click the image to see the zoomable version).
Note: Need to look into a permit for an agricultural type pond for the ducks.
Fencing
Economics of Fencing. Video by Grass-fed Homesteading.
Worksaver HPD-22Q - Fence Post Driver ( manual adjust is ~$4,800 and hydraulic adjust is ~7,265 )
Fencing material options:
- 10' Painted green T-posts for 8' deer fencing. ( $16.95 each )
- 8' x 330' Fixed Knot 12.5 gauge 20/96/6 - black coated fencing ( $1.82 per foot )
Using that option above for 2000' of fencing, with posts every 15' would cost roughtly $2,260 for the posts and $3,640 for the fencing. At intervals, we would probably want some heavy duty wooden posts as well, which would add to the cost somewhat. If we made every fourth post a wooden post, that would require about 35-40 posts total. Those would be 5"-7" by 11' or 12'.
Well
Recommended 100 gallons per minute capacity for agricultural irrigation. Recommended to get a complete flow test from the wells. Request a screened well. Get a brass fitting at the top.
