If you're
planning major renovations on your farm, consider the possibility
of installing underground power lines.
Today's
farm machinery is bigger and taller, making the danger of
working around electric lines greater than ever. Tall equipment
that you regularly use, like portable grain augers, easily
can contact power lines, especially around grain bins.
Underground
power lines will make your workplace safer, and save time
and worry.
