Market Farming

[Nancy Haycock <nhaycock AT pratt.edu>]

Hi, I just bought my farm up in Delaware County in New York, and I've
already noticed that a great many deer have gotten used to passing their
free time in areas where I plan to plant vegetables. So, I need to put
up fencing this spring. I read the email over the weekend about fence
height, and I'm wondering whether anyone has put up 9' (2' in the
ground) fence posts without a tractor for help.  Is it crazy to think
about standing on a ladder or something to pound in posts? I was
thinking I would use electric fencing, since I figure I will probably
reconfigure things at some point when I'm smarter.
Any manual fence post advice?
Thanks.
