A farmer has erected a backyard fence 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 property.

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

‘Redneck Stonehenge’ in Utah expresses farmer’s frustration by Andy B on Tuesday, 19 August 2008
(User Info | Send a Message)
Junk cars don’t generally draw much attention in the Ozarks. Plant ’em nose-down in lieu of a fence, though, and folks might take notice.

That’s exactly what Utah farmer Rhett Davis did to get the attention of his neighbors in Hooper, a farming community outside Salt Lake City.


Davis told Ogden Standard-Examiner news staffers that new neighbors had complained about his animals attracting flies and his haying equipment stirring up dust. They enjoyed the pastoral setting with his horses and cattle on pasture, but not the industry of agriculture.

Davis offered to pay half the cost and build a fence between his field and the neighboring subdivision — built on land his grandfather had once farmed — but the neighbors didn’t want their view blocked.

He conceived his “Redneck Stonehenge” idea as a way of letting his neighbors and the rest of the world know that he could do whatever he wished on his farm. “You don’t want to tick off a redneck with a backhoe,” he told the Standard-Examiner.
