Farmer constructs 'redneck Stonehenge'

Published: Aug. 5, 2008 at 8:53 PM

HOOPER, Utah, Aug. 5 (UPI) -- A Hooper, Utah, farmer said he created a makeshift fence out of wrecked cars after neighbors in a recently developed subdivision complained about his farm.

Rhett Davis said he used a backhoe and three old cars to construct the fence after neighbors who recently moved into their new homes next to his hayfield started complaining, the Ogden (Utah) Standard-Examiner reported Tuesday.

"The people who bought the homes say, 'Well, we love looking into your yard and seeing the horses and the cattle, but we don't like the flies, and we don't like the mosquitoes,' and when I cut my field to bale it, they say, 'We don't like the dust in the air,' " Davis said.

Davis said he has made peace with his neighbors and the fence was more of a joke than the product of spite.

"This is just a fun way for me to say, 'Hey boys, I'm still here,' so I started building a fence out of cars," he said. "This is my redneck Stonehenge."
