I have 110AC Mark V Parmak fencers and they seem very good! First, are you putting ALL of your hay in one location? I did this until I had an electric fence fire and it burned 2/3 of my hay one fall! The fencer was a weed burner though and not a low impedance fencer! Due to the length of the fence it seems that you may have all your hay in one spot! If so I strongly encourage you to consider at least two if not three possible hay lots for protection from fire or lightning! If your hay lot is near a public road then a fire from a discarded cigarette is not that unlikely! Also fireworks and just plain vandalizing is possible! Second. A good four strand barb wire fence built well should protect your hay from hungry cattle as long as you do not place any hay within, say a tractor's width from the fence! If you place the hay too close to a non-electric fence and the cattle get hungry they may push through a good fence! Third. Batteries do go down and if you build a single or even two strand electric fence and have several cloudy days and the battery is kinda old to begin with, you could find the cows in the hay when you get home! Whatever you use if you let them get into the hay a couple or three times in the winter they will be very hard to keep out unless you beef up the fence! I do have electic fences now and like electric in its place! Still not knowing your size or layout, I would vote for a barb wire fence from 4 to 6 strands on your 150 yard strech! Good luck!

Some of the more successful farmers of that day had a new time saving device called a tractor. It increased the farm productivity and, in general, made life easier because more work could be done with this 'mechanical beast'. My dad dreamed that some day he would have his own tractor with every implement he could get. When he reached his early sixties
