Hi Barrie, 

        I would definitely connect to it or any other metal
objects that are within 200' of your vertical.  I don't see
how it could hurt and it might help a bit.  During contests
when I was in Colorado, I turned off our electric fencer to
minimize noise and connected my ground directly to the electric 
fence...of course making sure my XYL did not accidentally turn 
it back on during the contest!  ;-)

                                        73,  Bill  W4ZV
