North Cental Mo.
I took it that you didn't think a person could build the fence themselves for $10,000 per mile. When I was looking last night, I kinda rough figured $.90 foot materials and a buck for labor coming in under $2.00 a foot, I was using 5.5' steel posts @ $4 .30, but I also had more expensive wood posts, so that's about a wash. On flat ground with a digger and a loader of some sort two guys can make pretty short work of a quarter of fence, so $1 for labor is plenty. IMHO.

Some of y'all keep mentioning having to use an auger because of rocks,,, I use an auger period, and use hedge for corners and line posts. I know that is kind of a locality issue
