[ez14]

Winery means grapes, grapes mean vines. Vines mean trellis, trellis means a lot of post

I guess i didn`t look at the sign Close enough. Most of the trellis around here are for hops and way taller like 15 or 20 ft

Thirsty mule is good, but I recommend the drunken donkey, or even better The hammered horse

When I asked a buddy about these he said it was a good cheap pull post. I said boy that ain't cheap there. $100 worth of rock plus a wire panel and t post. Not to mention labor cost.

I've done some fences with rock piles like that and cedar post for rails.

Who do they sell their hops to?

Idk. But I've done several vineyards and wondered if their waste could be used for feed .

Sell it to local breweries and maybe use some for them selves. Grand rapids is the closest city to me and known for its beer.

We've got "post" like that here, and rock fences 3 to 4 ft. high and some are hundreds of feet long. They were used because the ground had that many rocks on it, and the families had two hands full of kids. The kids helped pick up the rocks and the older ones stacked the fences. It was a bonus deal. The kids picked the rocks, there was fence being built, and the field was clean (at least for a while).

This has been cleared with a skid steer and a forestry unit. They leave a he'll of a mess. A thick layer of sticks. Hard to even walk across. Does a nice job of selectively clearing. Just know your going have to deal with those sticks.

I knew a guy down river from me that had about 60ac done like that. When the river got up in 2012, they all ended up down in Lake Houston. Made a heck of a mess...

Fenceman,

What do you use to twist fence clips? I just use my Klein linemans pliers. Me and the kids put on about 100 a piece today. My arthritis is on fire.

 

[fenceman]

Not me , but easier to show this than make a video . exactly how we do it..

It's probably overkill, but I bite the other side with my pliers. That's what kills my hands. Am I wasting energy?

 

[JMJ Farms]

I use about a 4 inch long screwdriver. If you bite the opposite side you do need some pliers. Some clips seem to be bent good enough but others need some help.
