 All right, we're here at Sand Mountain Research and Extension Center, I'm Kent Stanford Extension Specialist, I'm housed here at the station. We've had an interesting project going on this summer here, more of a demonstration project than a research project. We had a 22 acre field that we put into some summer annual grasses, a couple of different varieties of millet, and then a savane grass hybrid as well. We've made high moisture baled out of it, you can see it here in the background, we have it wrapped and staged here so it is convenient for our winter feeding season. Now, one of the issues or considerations when putting up baled or halages is that you need to address wildlife exclusion, is this stuff in sows and the smell gets to be a little stronger. You'll have wildlife that are attracted to that, and we want to be sure that nothing gets in here, opens up any of the plastic and allow oxygen to get into our pack, so it's important that we try to address wildlife exclusion. We've been working out here this morning getting our fence installed. We anticipate being able to feed this 90 or 100 days from now, so that's a critical time that we want to make sure that we've got our halage put up in the right place and that no wildlife do get in there. So, we've brought in Norm Haley, he's our regional extension agent for wildlife and natural resources. Norm's provided kind of a layout and design on our exclusion fence. We'll bring Norm in here next to show you what we've done on our fence this morning. Alright, like Kent said, my name is Norm Haley. I'm the forestry wildlife natural resources agent here in Northeast Alabama. You never kind enough bring me in on this project to look at maybe trying to exclude some of the wildlife issues they have without any other type of measures installed. So, the primary considerations we have here are going to be a raccoon and also a coyote. So, like you said, if you want to farm, you make use of what you've got. We had some poly tape, some poly tape fencing, some round wire fencing, and some of the more standard cables that you have here. Now, the way we've got to keep out raccoons and coyotes can be a little bit different. Of course, a raccoon is a smaller built animal. You've got to make sure they don't come underneath that hot water fence and also don't step over or accrue it. That's why on this outside perimeter, you've got a wire set up at that 4 to 6 inch length and another one at 4 to 6 inches above that. That's going to keep the majority of our raccoons just looking under this without getting hope or also stepping through the wire like they like to. If you get that up about that 6 or that 10 to 12 inch size, they're not going to step over very easy either. As far as the coyotes are concerned, it's ideal that you're really looking to keep coyotes out that are very persistent. You want to fence about 5 to 6 foot high. Using the materials that we have, we don't have insulated posts that we decide to do is come in about 2 foot outside of the perimeter and keep our fence at 2 and a half and then at 3 foot high. What we're looking to do here is one, increase the distance that coyote has to jump while also getting away with a little bit less height. Now, the way we're going to teach these animals the way to avoid these paints and just the kind of issue that they may have, they approach it. One tried and true trick is just take a little bit of aluminum foil and apply a dab of peanut butter to the inside of that foil. It doesn't take much, but it has a pretty strong smell. And then simply wrap that peanut butter and foil right back around that fence. They'll come up there, they'll try to lick it, get a good coat, realize the threat of a fence and hopefully not come back again. The key with setting up an electric fence, whether it's to protect hay lids like we have here, whether it's a small garden or maybe a food clock, is put your fences up early and keep them hot and teach your animals with the peanut butter and foil trick here. Secondly, if we're lucky, we're going to set up some trail cameras here throughout the fence and maybe try to get some reactions to some animals as they come up here and approach it and show y'all how effective the fence can be. Alright, we finished our fence up from earlier that we showed you. We've got our end finished up here as well. I wanted to show you the gate setup that we've got. Again, we may not be going in and out here for another two or three months or longer, so we want to exclude these wildlife that can create issues for us, but we still got to have access on this end. So a very simple gate setup. Since we do need access and this will have to go open and close from time to time, we were not able to do our staggered offset as we did on the other side. So in order to deal with that, we've gone a little higher. You can see that we've got a top strand of poly tape up here. That will help with the coyotes and the coyote attempting to jump over the fence. As we work our way down, our strands get closer and a shorter distance spacing on those strands. Real simple setup here. We've just used a piece of PVC pipe, drilled a hole through it and ran our poly tape through there with a little string to close it, just a traditional wire gap type setup. I'll show you the ease to get in and out. This keeps the strands separated. We've got one of the poly posts there in the middle and we'll walk around for you. So even though this looks like it's fairly complicated at the time and it might get a little twisted when we bring it back, since we're using the PVC pipe instead of individual handles, our fence should work like it's supposed to. It allows us access when it comes time to feed and keeps unwanted critters out.
