  January is a good time for farmers to do maintenance and repair work. The plants in the fields are growing slowly. It's time for cutting hedges, digging ditches and building new wooden fences. New houses have new high wooden fences as well. There are lots of big machines all around: machines for digging trenches, for moving earth (and manure), for carrying oil, for emptying drains. And sometimes new roads and gates are needed too.
