Thanks to the U-S-D-A, researchers from South Dakota State University will utilize a one-million-dollar grant to conduct research on rangeland.  Krista Ehlert serves as an extension range specialist and is a cooperator for the research. The project will be funded for five years.  She tells the research will focus on precision ranching.

Ehlert explains how the precision technology will be utilized as part of the research project.

The SDSU range specialist explains what the researchers hope to prove through their five-year research project.

The research project will be conducted at the SDSU Cottonwood Field Research Station and will involve producers, meat scientists, eco-system ecologists, range scientists, and ruminant nutritionists.
