Speedrite Electric Fence Energizers offered by Valley Farm Supply was established in 2004 by Lancaster County local, John “JC” Remsberg, to provide quality farming supplies and equipment. The supply store warehouse is located in New Providence, PA. However, they provide service to professional farmers and hobby farmers throughout the country and internationally. Valley Farm Supply was initially started as a concept through eBay®, but as demand grew, so did the business. Over the years, one thing has been constant – the friendly, knowledgeable service you receive.

They offer a comprehensive website, from their catalog of great quality products to helpful guides, you will find everything you need to make your farm or ranch successful. They offer YouTube videos on how to install fencing for your farm and guides you on which brand or type of equipment is best for your needs. Or if you are still having trouble deciding what you need, you can give them a call at 717-786-0368 or send them an email.

JC’s knowledge regarding farming supplies is unparalleled. Working in the farm industry, before becoming a wholesale dealer, gives JC the advantage that big box farming stores just don’t have.

JC talked with me about countless stories, where customers have looked to Tractor Supply Company® and other larger stores for help, only to end up dissatisfied. In one case, a customer called looking for fencing to keep bears from getting into his farm. The grade of fencing from Tractor Supply Company® did not hold up to the test. This customer was just starting out his Beekeeping ventures and had 10,000 honey bees. JC was able to get him durable fencing that would work keeping the bears at bay, and sent him videos guiding him on how to install it correctly.

Valley Farm Supply is also one of the largest wholesale dealers for Gallagher® equipment. In addition, they carry many other brands of truest, speedrite, staff, patriot, and cyclops electric fencing, livestock watering systems and grazing supplies. Being one of the largest dealers in the Northeastern USA, they are able to pass amazing savings on to their customers.

Valley Farm Supply prides itself in quick, reliable service. They have never lost focus on providing the same great customer service that they started with in 2004. If you need help with your farming supplies or would like to learn more, please visit their website today.

Missouri's fence and boundary laws continue to raise questions from landowners throughout the state. The following will discuss some common questions related to fences and boundaries.

1. Does the law allow landowners to clear 10 feet on each side of the boundary fence? Missouri has had the tradition of cleaning out 10 feet on each side to maintain the fence for over 100 years. Unfortunately, it is a tradition and not a law so legally, no, you cannot if the neighbor opposes. It makes good sense to do so since trees and brush may obstruct the fence and either landowner could be held liable by the other for repair of the fence.
2. Should a new fence automatically be placed on the surveyed line if there is a survey? This is a common misconception and occurs often. If a fence has been in place for 10 years or more, then it becomes the boundary line in all likelihood. It is known as "adverse possession" and is a legal term and court process. A new landowner who had a survey done cannot move the fence to where the survey is, in the case of an existing fence of more than 10 years, without a neighbor's consent. If no fence is in place, then the fence can be placed on the survey line. Alternatives include a mutual agreement among neighbors or including specific wording on both deeds. Joe Koenen, ag business specialist in Putnam County can be contacted for this specific wording.
3. If livestock is not owned, who is responsible for the boundary fence? The answer depends on the county the land is located. The updated general fence law states landowners who do not own livestock are not legally required to contribute to a boundary fence. Ninety-five counties in Missouri currently have adopted the updated general fence law. Nineteen counties have opted out of the general law and are local option fence law counties. In these counties, if one landowner requires a boundary fence because of the possession of livestock, then the other(s) are legally obligated to contribute and pay for their portion.
4. Is it a good idea to place a fence inside the property line if an agreement between neighbors cannot be made? A fence needs to be on the property line for several good reasons. First, it serves as the boundary line. Second and more importantly, if the fence is erected ten or twenty feet inside the property line, one may have avoided paying for half of the neighbor's fence in general law counties, but it comes at a potentially high cost. If the fence within the property line stays there for ten years or more and the neighbor utilizes it somehow (pasture, hunt, cut wood) then ownership may change under adverse possession.
5. If one cannot afford one-half of the fence then who is responsible? The law is very clear as far as who is responsible for building and maintaining a boundary fence. The fact someone does not have the funds currently does not matter. In those cases, one will have to work out something with the neighbor or a lender.
6. The neighbor wants a woven wire fence, who is responsible for extra fence costs? If one is required to contribute to the fence, the law specifies the contribution of a legal fence depending on the general or option law. One is still required to pay for what one-half of the legal fence cost but anything above that (woven wire, fifteen foot tall fence, etc.) would be the total cost of the neighbor requiring it.

Missouri's fence law is very complicated and can be confusing. It is critical to know the county's fence law. University of Missouri Extension has two guides on the law, guide 811 Missouri's Fencing and Boundary Laws: Frequently Asked Questions (http://extension.missouri.edu/p/G811) and guide 810 Missouri's Fencing and Boundary Laws (http://extension.missouri.edu/p/G810).

A Speedrite solar fence charger is the main thing in a solar-powered electric fence system.

It is also called a solar energizer or solar fencer, and it belongs to one of the three main categories of fence chargers.

Speedrite Solar fence chargers are rated based on their level of current output. This current is transmitted through a series of electric wires that form a grounded closed circuit.

This means that the speedrite fence system is grounded and its wire and fencer form a complete circuit.

This ensures that there is current always flowing through the uninsulated wires as long as the fencer is working, and these live wires can give an electric shock to any animal, person, or bird that comes in contact with it.

The amount of current flowing through the fencer system determines the degree of charge given. This can range from simple non-lethal shock to (potentially) fatal electrocution.

This way, the electric fence serves as a deterrent or barriers against encroachment by animals or people into a fenced-off area.
