For this ranch’s range monitoring points, we set steel fence posts 300 feet apart and took pictures at each post each year. Shoot images from the posts in all directions to develop a panoramic record.
1999
The 1990s were terrible years in West Texas. This ranch did not receive average rainfall at this photo point monitoring site during that decade. The result is obvious from the pictures. Because of this photo record, stocking rates were drastically cut to reduce the long-term damage to the forage base.
