Sucks to put up a new fence only to have the adjoining landowner plant corn within a few inches of the new fence so your cattle ruin the new fence reaching threw to eat that corn. If they were paying for that fence maybe they would be more likely to see how planting corn that close isn't in their best interest. Edited to say it wasn't any experience I had. I did however rent some ground that I watched one neighbor put a new fence and he told me he paid for it himself. On the other side of the fence his neighbor rented his ground out and the renter dang near planted a row on top of the new fence. That's just not right either.
How is it "not right" for the other land owner/renter to make full use of their property so the cowboy's cattle can continue to graze on the crop farmer side of the fence?
Basically you're asking him to leave ground unplanted because so the cattle can contiue grazing part of his property without reaching his corn. Unless he's damaging the fence with his equipment it doesn't seem like he's doing anything wrong by planting up to the fence.
Seems like a hot wire on the cattle side of the fence would take care of the problem of cows pushing a fence over.
