Best way I know is to have a auger on the back of a tractor a bit smaller then the post you're gonna plant. After drilling the hole, set the post and push it in with loader. Course that assumes you have a big enough tractor w/enough down force on the loader to push the post to the bottom of the hole. If you got many post to put in then the augers the way to go. If you damp them right you'll not need any cement. Regular idiot sticks are only good for finding rocks in my point of view. Put in your corner post and stretch the bottom wire to use as a guide to get your post straight in line. Its no harder to put in a straight fence and looks a lot better. When you get it all up then you'll get a flash flood to wash it out for you.
