[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1548339, member: 25884"] One thing. A dairy farmer here has several through his pastures/hayfields. He was wondering why the cows were a little jumpy coming through a gateway. Turns out the gate is "electrified" from the waves off the lines. And all his wire fence has a charge on it. Plus he ran electric fence to split up for rotational grazing and did not have to use a fence charge because they had a charge on them. The power company tried to tell him he was full of it.... but they had a county extension agent and a guy who does fencing for a living out and they confirmed it and showed it to the power company. These are big huge towers with lots of big lines on them. Also, you can hear a constant "hum" from them, I don't know if it is the electricity going through them, or the wind..... I honestly would not want to be that close to them. Just my personal preference. [/QUOTE]
