P.S. Missouri Village 1855, in Jackson Co. didn't have a farm exhibit
because the deer destroyed all crops despite the 9' fences they built.
I don't know if they found a solution since I was last there.

According to some things I read this morning, deer can jump as high as 15 feet if frightened. A tall deer fence needs to be at least 10-12' high. The double fence system seems to work and I will be using Gene's Chicken Moat idea.
