There is no denying that fences are an essential infrastructure on any farming property and to most farmers they can be a significant investment.
However, if farmers choose the right fence, they can reap the increased productivity benefits that withstand the test of time.
While many products and materials have changed in the fencing business, it has taken an Aussie man on the land to invent a revolutionary fencing system.
Ten years ago, on a family farm in rural NSW, Ashley Olsson had a simple idea for a clip-in fence post, eliminating the struggle of tying off heavy wire.
While it was initially designed to save time, Ashley and his four boys had no idea how much this simple concept would revolutionise fencing.
Ten years on, thousands of Aussie farmers are now appreciating the substantial benefits to their grazing operations.
With the Clipex fencing system, farmers are saving time and labour.
When Frank McKillop, sheep producer in Marra Creek, NSW, concluded he needed to gain back grazing control to increase his livestock capacity, he installed Clipex’s feral fence.
He saw dramatic improvements to his country increasing from 60 to 80 percent ground cover.
“After the first shower of rain, the response was incredible because it just wasn’t overgrazed,” Mr McKillop said.
Having concluded that the only way to relieve grazing pressure from wildlife was through exclusion, Mr McKillop installed 25km of fencing with his son Bill, three years ago, which now covers more than 2800 hectares.
“We are just so much better off,” Mr McKillop said.
Clipex’s founder Ashley Olsson assures landholders that they can have confidence when they install a Clipex fence they are investing in one of the best fences available.
”We asked ‘how could we build the best product, for the best price?’ and with that mindset we brought innovation to the industry with solutions to the farmer, which are safe, easy and reliable,” Mr Olsson said.
