As the seasons change, drones remain one of the most practical and versatile tools on the ranch. This session explores how producers can use drones year-round—from checking watering systems and monitoring feeding activity to locating animals with thermal cameras. Markus will share real-world footage and tips for safe and reliable operation in cold weather. He’ll also introduce emerging opportunities such as brush control and targeted spraying, highlighting both the potential and current regulatory limits of these applications.
