SUMMARY:The Economics and Natural Resource Benefits of Virtual Fencing in the Western US
DESCRIPTION:In this webinar produced by the United States Department of Agriculture’s research lab at the Jornada Experimental Range\, researchers will share insights from producer-focused surveys\, adoption studies\, and economic modeling of VF systems in the Southwest and Southern Plains. Speakers will discuss how ranch size\, herd size\, and producer preferences—such as precision grazing\, herd tracking\, and fencing alternatives—shape adoption decisions. The presentation will highlight the costs and benefits of VF relative to traditional fencing\, emphasizing practical break-even thresholds and producer tradeoffs. Speakers will also explore how VF can serve as a natural resource management tool in ecologically sensitive areas. Drawing on cattle–elk conflict simulation and AI decision-support systems\, researchers will demonstrate how VF can be paired with satellite imagery\, drone flights\, and AI grazing models to improve conservation outcomes.
