Airplane Directs Ranch Work From Aerial Maps
The New Orleans Times-Picayune notes Tulare County California’s 139 G.A nere ranch is the first plantation housed from the air. An airplane provides aerial photographs to map the entire area, enabling the ranch manager to assign daily labor and monitor crop progress without frequent visits. About 500 men are employed, and efficiency is key to avoid friction and duplication in work. Photos from 9000 feet give a comprehensive view, while all reports are generated remotely from the ranch house.
