\"Fencing<\/a>In 2001 the big project was putting in new roads and water lines to connect both halves of the farm. In 2002 my latest attempt to achieve total bankruptcy was new fencing. Fencing, like the road last year, or almost anything else on this farm, is an example of the nasty financial inverse relationship that continues to plague my life – the greater the necessity, the more horrific the expense.
