Hot Fence Keeps Rodents Away From Silage Bags
 ✖  |
Erecting a nylon "Max-Flex" electric fence around plastic silage bags is a good way to keep wild animals from tearing holes in the bags, says Troy Tolan, Pleasant Plains, Ill., who farms and also runs a farm supply store on his farm that sells Max-Flex electric fence fabric.
Tolan circled the silage bag with the nylon fencing, which has an electric filament running through it. It hooks up to a regular fence charger. "It worked better than I ever thought. Animals and rodents stay away from it," he says, noting that the fencing could also be used to keep coons out of sweet corn.
