I only have 5 acres out here right by the house but the road T's right in front of my field as you come up a hill. Been here about 11 years and have had about 5 people go through my fence one on a motorcycle. My dad said something about putting a barrier up but Maybe I am soft hearted but I would rather fix the fence than have someones injuries or death on my concience.

Luckily though we only had one person try to drive off and after a short chase he went out inot another field and got stuck. Wound up not only paying for the fence but his parents made him fix it. Others come out and fixed it or helped to and paid for materials.

I know a man who made a mailbox stand from a piece of 12 inch I beam in concrete to stop people from running over it. He stopped one and the deputy said although it was a good idea the man was lucky he didn't get sued. Not saying that is right but it is a fact.

Most people around here will own up to something simple like a fence,guess if it were different I might think differently.

Also I got run off the road one time into a man's soybean field. Called him and told him I would pay the damages and he said not to worry about it as in the 20+ years he had been farming that field and had this happen often I was the first person to call and offer to pay for damages. Kinda sad huh that people won't do that.
