As part of the Nebraska Extension Drones for Disaster Preparedness and Recovery Project, several Extension Educators were selected to receive training for flying unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). We are looking at ways drones can be used to collect research data and in everyday beef cattle production. Covid may have put a crinkle in completing our flight training, but I am fortunate to do practice flights at GSL. Below are some videos from different flights in the past year. I would love to hear how others are using drones in your beef operations.
