Envu Range & Pasture is delivering on its promise to bring ranchers problem-solving solutions by introducing new features within the RangeView™ digital rangeland tool. RangeView™ will be featured in the Envu booth at the Cattle Industry Convention & NCBA Trade Show (CattleCon), including in-booth demonstrations. The new features, available in spring of 2024, will help with rotation planning, herd data management and making the best grazing decisions for your ranch year over year.

The new RangeView features include:

•            A ranch management dashboard with market trends, weather and wildfire updates

•            Pasture forage productivity calculations

•            Herd by herd grazing rotation planning

•            Weight progression and shipping date estimation

•            And more!

CattleCon24 attendees can sign up for a 60-day free trial of the new RangeView grazing management subscription, plus they will receive 25% off their first year's subscription. Visit the Envu Innovator Outpost at booth #1757 to sign up.

The RangeView digital rangeland tool still features invasive brush, weed, and grass mapping, plus customized treatment planning, herbicide application history, and the RangeView Restoration Pledge. The combination of satellite imagery and cutting-edge machine learning analysis powered by Satelytics with the digital planning tools and Envu herbicide solutions helps restore pastures to productive forage. This powerful approach can help to reestablish native species, restore productivity to rangelands and increase forage quality.

“We received excellent feedback from ranchers and land managers across the country about the RangeView digital rangeland tool since we launched it several years ago,” said Justin Hossfeld, national sales manager, Envu Range & Pasture. “The platform continues to evolve as we introduce new, game-changing features to provide optimal support to ranchers.”

RangeView Restoration Pledge

“We at Envu are confident in this new technology and want to make sure ranchers and land managers feel the same way,” said Hossfeld. “That is why we continue to have the RangeView Restoration Pledge, guaranteeing control of invasive brush, weeds, and grasses.

In the Western U.S., the RangeView Restoration Pledge is a promise to control cheatgrass and ventenata for four years. Ranchers incorporating a RangeView analysis prior to a single Rejuvra® herbicide application are promised up to four years of control, defined as 80% or greater control of downy brome/cheatgrass and ventenata.

Monitoring and evaluation of treatment performance will occur via the RangeView platform or through on-site visits by Envu representatives. If control on the overall treatment drops below 80%, Envu will reimburse 100% of the Rejuvra herbicide cost. Reimbursement will not occur until after two germination cycles or 48 months after application.

In the Southwestern U.S., ranchers incorporating a RangeView analysis prior to a single Invora® herbicide application are promised up to five years of mesquite and huisache control. If the canopy cover for the area treated is above the pledge guarantee beginning one year after application, Envu will reimburse 100% of the Invora herbicide product, application and adjuvant costs for the area requiring retreatment.

Five years of control is defined as less than 5% canopy cover of honey mesquite and 10% canopy cover of huisache, excluding:

●           Targeted species, seedling recruitment and mechanically manipulated species.

●           Targeted species treated within the past three years.

●           Any brush deemed unsuitable for application due to weather or tree conditions.

Monitoring and evaluation of treatment performance may occur via the RangeView platform and/or visual inspection. Pastures can only be retreated once during the five-year period.

Ranchers can visit RangeView.envu.us to learn more and enroll in the RangeView platform.
