What ultimately causing the problem was a scrap piece of wire laying across the top wire to the netting. It wasn't clicking or anything and was on an uphill portion so it was difficult to see. Once I understood how to use the fault finder properly, it proved a great tool.
Regardless, I added two more grounding rods for a total of five. The ground wire had been tied by someone to the netting or no climb fence. I cut this off for two reasons; 1) If I have a problem, I do not want to get shocked touching the no climb or the gate. 2) The no climb is rusty and probably not a good conductor anyway.
I am going to replace my ground clamps (I have some doubts as to how tight they are). I am going to a larger gauge ground wire. I am redoing every splice to a figure eight rather than a simple loop (more contact surface). Every gate will get an underground wire rather than relying on the gate handle hooks for contact (They don't look much better than a loop splice).

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
