Wires kill pilots

Alan Beck told Rural News "One of his greatest worries is that farmers, despite attempts to educate them, will not take down electric fence wires suspended across farm gullies". 
“The cost of removing these dangerous wires is bugger all. All it requires is for the offending wire to be cut and a new one erected on battens on an existing fence,  We recommend that the battens are about 800mm in height, which means that if by chance the farmer gets chased by a bull they get over the fence and don’t get zapped on the electric fence.
