How virtual fencing is simplifying rotational grazing for farmers

For the past few decades, Extension educators, soil and water conservation districts and the natural resource conservation service staff have been working to teach farmers about the benefits of rotational grazing.
For the farmers who have never wanted to adopt rotational grazing because of the time or infrastructure investment, there is a new solution for them.
Virtual grazing is a relatively new technology that allows farmers to keep livestock where they want them without any fence.
The stock density of the livestock is going to go up, which increases the grazing efficiency on the pastures.
In Monroe County, and probably most areas throughout the country, a lot of grazing land is leased.
