Fences of the Back Roads and Byways

"Good fences make good neighbors." Robert Frost like many of our forefathers, recognized the value of a good fence. For generations, they could be seen from nearly every roadside; however, more commercialized farming and less livestock have changed the view for drivers and passengers. Today, fences are few and far between in the countryside. This trend helped the Elmwood-Murdock Future Business Leaders of America members strategize how we could preserve those that exist right here in Cass County, Nebraska. Additionally, in honor of Elmwood's 125 birthday, FBLA members decided to provide a gift that would impact the community by bringing visitors to our community. We decided to draw attention to fences by adding decorated segments that carry out different themes. Visitors can find directions and see completed segments when they visit www.elmwoodfences.weebly.com.
