The NEC (NFPA-70) requires 8 feet of the ground electrode to be in ground
contact....if a 10 foot rod is used, the termination is permitted to be above
ground, as long as it is suitably protected against physical damage.

Another thought for Jeff -- last I looked at NEC, they want ground rods
at the service entrance to be completely buried, with the connection
below grade. There's a specified depth, don't remember what it is.
