COLLEGE STATION – Rangeland Apps will be the topic of a June 2 natural resources webinar conducted by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service ecosystem science and management unit.
The webinar is a part of the Texas Range Webinar Series scheduled the first Thursday of each month from noon to 1 p.m., said Pete Flores, webinar coordinator in Corpus Christi.
This month’s presenter is Bryan Davis, AgriLife Extension agriculture and natural resources agent in Wilson County, who will talk about a wide range of apps for smart phones and iPads.
“There are thousands out there and we are going to look at how producers can use them to increase their productivity,” Davis said. “I will start with simple picture taking and how it can be used to evaluate biomass, and then move on to mapping applications, market reports and other useful functions.”
This webinar and others in the series can be accessed at http://naturalresourcewebinars.tamu.edu. Participants seeking Texas Department of Agriculture continuing education units when offered on webinars must pay a $10 fee on the website. For all others, there is no fee, Flores said.
