One of New Zealand’s greatest contributions to the world of agriculture came with the combination of two quite different technologies – fencing and electricity. Imagine a fence that did not rely on sheer strength for its effectiveness. This allows the fence to be light, and therefore easily portable. And a portable fence, easily moved around the farm, opens the way to revolutionise agriculture with brand-new grazing practices.
