Question for farmers and others here - is it common in your area for neighbors to split femce costs?
When we put in a fence on the north side of our big property in Missouri, the rancher that owns the parcel north of us comes up after a couple hours and drops off tools, T posts and wire saying "I have to help you with part of this fence, it's the way we do things here".
Now this weekend, the rancher to the south is helping me move a fence line he put up years ago that's actually sitting on my property. It's only about 6' into my property but not long after my first visit he contacted me through the neighbor to the east to let me know of the "error" on his part.
So, is this a common practice in your experience?
