To have a fencing around your farm or not is the question. Fencing can be through barbed wires on pillars, planting ring of trees, or plain posts. barbed wires on posts require a lot of maintenance otherwise they look ungainly and also are causes of injuries and accidents. Trees fencing has several draw backs – it stops sun shine, roots extend all around, impedes growth under its shade, and is home to many worms, pests and virus . Posts planted at regular intervals provide required demarcation and allow full utilization of land end to end for farming. Fencing only for keeping animals inside or for security purposes.
