Group Receives Nearly $200K for Virtual Fencing Pilot
A group has been awarded close to $200,000 in funding to run a virtual fencing pilot project, according to local reporting. Virtual fencing uses GPS-enabled collars and software rather than physical barriers to manage where livestock graze. The technology is drawing growing interest among ranchers and land managers as a way to control grazing patterns, protect sensitive land and cut the cost of traditional fence infrastructure.
Why now: Virtual fencing is an emerging agricultural technology and new pilot funding signals momentum in how livestock grazing may be managed.
