Nofence’s John Smout and ag policy expert John Weber unpack how virtual fencing is reshaping ranching across the U.S.

They also explore how policymakers are supporting adoption through the USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service's (NRCS) EQIP program and why this technology is gaining traction with both new and seasoned producers.
