NEWARK. Del.-A farmer
and his two sons were
pushing a portable auger
elevator from one bin to
another when they were
\ suddenly stopped in their
tracks, literally “frozen”.
They heard the crackle of
electricity above them, then
felt the electric current
surge through, their arms
and legs. The older man
wrenched free of the
machine only to watch in
horror as his sons slumped
into unconsciousness and
death.
Tragically, similar scenes
are repeated on farms and
ranches across the country.
Any piece of metal equip
ment that can reach power
lines is capable of bringing
the “lightning” down.

The architectural details of
housing units are not the
only concerns of builders
and developers today, says
Larry J. Kuhns, Extension
horticulturist, Penn State.
The environmental
features that surround their
homes are receiving more
attention. Considerable
amounts of money are being
spent to plan, develop, and
preserve the environment in
new developments. In many
cases imaginative builders

utilities and parking areas,

recreation, explains Kuhns.
High density planning can
provide a better en
vironment at lower cost in
many situations. The in
creased number of units
helps pay the cost of
protecting the environment,
and high density housing
requires less land be
disturbed from its natural
state. For the homeowners,
this means more open space
and park lands at their back
doors.
The bees and shrubs that
remain, and those that are
planted serve the new
community in many ways.

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, My 7,1979
Jester urges all farmers to
take a good look at power
lines near their operations
and determine what
precautions and training are
needed to prevent elec
trocutions. Where tall
equipment must be used, one
should consider an un
derground electrical supply.
Lines over lanes, drives and
field entrances might have
to be raised to accommodate
modem equipment. Certain
hay stackers, folded tillage
equipment, and portable
conveyors can be inad
vertently left raised, coming
in contact with power lines
installed at the legally
required heights.
A person should make sure
no one on the place becomes
They beautify the area,
buffer traffic noise and odor,
screen out structures and
streets on adjoining land,
and offer a break in the
rigid, geometric order of the
new buildingsand homes.
The open spaces give
children of all ages a place to
run and play or relax and
contemplate; they are
suitable for both. A wide
variety of wildlife has
proven very adaptable to
living in close relationships
with humans if just provided
a few hiding places. The
open spaces provide a refuge
for animals and the op
portunity for people to ob
serve and enjoy another part
of nature.
The key to providing all
these benefits of the open,
undeveloped areas are the
trees and shrubs which
buffer the noises and odors
and provide screens and

One should never work
within 10 feet of any power
line. Tall equipment should
be lowered and clearances
checked before driving
under power lines. Even the
CB antenna on a pickup
truck or tractor may be high
enough to touch some lines.
If one is trapped in or on a
vehicle in contact with a
power line, he should stay
where he is until someone
calls the power company to
cut off the power. If onemust
