every ground rod i ever worked with was copper......never saw a rusty ground rod

I always used copper clad too. Some fence manufacturers recommend zinc coated steel.

Excerpt from the National Electrical Code.
Sec. 250-56 of the 1999 NEC requires a minimum resistance to remote earth of 25 ohms for a grounding electrode
made of a rod buried at least 8 ft. When its measured resistance exceeds the 25 ohms, the Code requires the
installation of one additional ground rod to be located at least 6 ft away from the first. Sec. 250-52(c) requires that
the rod(s) be a minimum O.D. of ¾ in. if made of galvanized pipe, a minimum of 5/8 in. O.D. if solid iron or steel, and
a minimum of ½ in. if made of nonferrous material such as copper or stainless steel. Sec. 250-52(e) prohibits the ground
rods from being made of aluminum.

Sink it deep enough and it wouldn't be worth the effort.

So true.
When I set up electric for festivals it was a bear to get them out.

u know i need help but nobody believes me the wire i have have is not working the only thing that is not working the ground rod the box all of that works except the wire

Believe me, I believe you.
My best advice is to google the make and model of your unit along with the word "manual".

i dont think we could have made it more than the 2-3' down, which is still not enough, so we would have needed 3, and the cost was too great at that point

Without sufficient depth, you need multiple rods.

yes

Wow!!! That's exactly what I need. Can you send me seeds?
