The usage of IOT in agriculture is highly recommended and is very effective when looking into the long term benefits like good production and automation. When agriculture is integrated with IOT the data collected in the process will be highly efficient in making more progress towards the improvement of this field which can save many from financial troubles.
Let me add a specific issue of adding intelligence to farming equipment through IoT technology.
Here is an example of a safety net around farming vehicles on the road developed by ETSI, the European Telecommunications Standards Institute, implemented on a prototype by equipment manufacturer JohnDeere:
I find your question interesting and excite a very important issue. The introduction of electronics in agriculture activities is very required to save efforts, resources and increase the productivity. My opinion is that we have to bring supervision and control functions to agriculture.
In Egypt the irrigation and cultivation system is old and must be modernized by the introduction of irrigation control in the crops fields themselves.
This would require using smart sensors and actuators for water distribution in the fields. The aim is to save water, fuels, fertilizers and man power that can be used in an other more useful activities.
Use of IoT in Agriculture becomes imperative to reduce drudgery, energy conservation, and profitability of farming.... Although its application in big farms are evident, however, small and marginal farmers of developing nations are not using it.....
