Why is this issue important? “Prevention is cheap, but repair is expensive”
Farm roads are a necessary disturbance of the managed landscape, indeed a requirement for
managing well and profitably. What is not necessary is the wide range of problems associated with
farm roads that are often (maybe even usually):
1. Poorly planned and located
2. Poorly installed
3. Poorly maintained
4. Poorly repaired.
A well planned, installed and maintained farm road network is critical for a successful farm. It will
allow comfortable, safe and rarely weather prohibited travel between the farmhouse or living area
and the areas needing direct attention. |
