'Redneck Stonehenge': Utah Farmer Builds Fence From Wrecked Autos to Send Message to Neighbors

HOOPER, Utah — A farmer has erected a fence in his backyard made of three old cars sticking up in the air to send a message to new neighbors that he can do whatever he wants on his farm.

"This is just a fun way for me to say, 'Hey boys, I'm still here,'" said Rhett Davis. "This is my redneck Stonehenge."

Davis came up with the idea after neighbors who recently moved into homes next to his hayfield complained about his farm.

"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 offered to pay half the cost of a fence between his property and the others and to build it. He said his neighbors declined the offer, saying it would block their view.

Neighbors declined to comment to the Standard-Examiner of Ogden.

Davis said after the neighbors declined his offer, he used a backhoe to dig three large holes on the edge of his property, then took three cars that had competed in demolition derbies and planted them nose-first into the ground.

He said the cars were planted out of humor rather than spite. He said it's important that new residents moving into the area realize that Hooper remains a farming community.

The area has grown recently with new residents who desire a country atmosphere but don't want the smells and noises of farm life, Davis said.

"I respect that they're here and spent a lot on their homes, but on the other hand, give me a little bit, too. I've been here since I was 7 years old," he said.

Davis said he doesn't intend to keep the cars up permanently.

"I've talked to my neighbors and worked things out. I really just thought this would be a funny thing to do," he said. "These can come out just as easy as they went in."

This is a common problem in rural areas. People move out to get away from the urban problems and suburban sprawl. They move out to rural areas to enjoy the view and because the land prices are cheaper than in those abominations known as "planned subdivisions".

They want the nice views and the lack of traffic. But they want their neighbors to stop doing what they have been doing for decades.

They want to see the cows and horses, but don't want the flies or smell. The love the view of the hayfield, but hate the dust of baling time.

I have had several friends get the cops called on them when they were shooting on their own land. The new neighbors freaked when they heard gun fire.


But there is some fun too. One lady near my last house had spent over $10,000 on her landscaping. The deer made short work of her shrubs and a couple of heron ate her coi from her adorable pond. She moved out to the boonies to enjoy nature, and then threw a fit when nature enjoyed her landscape. Last I heard her house was up for sale.
 
Why the hell would you spend 10,000 on landscaping in a rural area? Are you trying to impress the jonses four miles away who never look at your yard?

IMHO living in a heavily wooded area like I do, there's already enough greenery.
