Excerpt from Cost of Fencing Farms in the North Central States It may be fairly assumed that the average woven-wire fence, con structed of materials which will permit its erection at a cost not to exceed 65 cents per rod, will not give satisfactory service for more than 15 years. Assuming this to be the case, the renewal cost of farm fences in the United States would amount to annually. Data obtained by this office show that there is an annual repair charge of cent per rod on woven-wire fence. At this rate the repair charges on all fences in the United States will total $126, 507, 373. The interest on investment at 5 per cent IS $171 312 Totaling these three items gives an annual upkeep charge of $526, 235 or a cost of $82. 72 per farm, or 59 cents per acre, or 15. 37 per cent of the value of the fence as above estimated. There is, of course, a great deal of fencing that is not made of woven wire, but the depreciation, repair, and investment charges on it would be even greater than in the case of woven wire.
