A field that's used for stock, temporary or otherwise, is basically a place to crash in Northern New England.

Landowners (not farmers) put electric fence corrals in prime landable hayfields. One new owner put up wires for a small vineyard in a previously used PT3 field close to the airport.

In 2013, a visiting pilot had a electric fence wire ride part way up his canopy. It was still under tension when he stopped. The wire pulled out several fiberglass stakes but was anchored by a long row of stakes.

I'm just curious about wire deflector lore.
