Digital technology such as the Internet of Things (IoT) is driving change in agriculture.
So what is the Intenet of Things and what does it mean for farmers.
The Internet of Things or IoT refers to devices or things that are embedded with a sensor so they can measure and transmit data via a network. Devices can mean anything from pumps sheds and tractors to weather stations. Essentially, IoT means these physical devices can send and recieve information via the internet.
On farms, IoT allows devices across a farm to measure all kinds of data remotely and provide this information to the farmer in realtime.
IoT devices can gather information like soil moisture, chemical application, dam levels and livestock health as well as monitor fences vehicles and weather.
Information generated by IoT devices allows farmers to track farm operations and performance, make better informed decisions to improve farm productivity in yield, and respond more quickly to their conditions saving time and money.
