Fence chargers

In reading your catalog you talk about instead of one large fence charger for your whole farm you recommend dividing up your farm in half and installing two smaller fence chargers. One charger to operate each half of my farm independently. My question is if I do this can I use the same ground rods for both fence chargers?

For safety reasons I would use a ground system foe each unit.

If you had a lightning strike you could damage both units.
You could also be putting too much energy back to the rods and
get some stray voltage at other metal objects touching the ground.
