Farmer challenges fence lawBLANCHARD, N.D. (AP)--Some lawmakers and others believe it might be time to change North Dakota's 100-year-old fence law. State Sen. Randy Christmann, a rancher from Hazen, proposed a legislative study on the law more than five years ago, but it went nowhere. He says the law is dated and talks about fences that are no longer in use. A challenge to the law by Blanchard horse farmer La Verne Koenig has been rejected by the North Dakota Supreme Court. Deputy Attorney General Tom Trenbeath says it's the job of his office to defend the constitutionality of the law. But he says he won't be surprised if the Legislature looks to update it next session.
