Technology for the Farmers

Have you seen the green scenery of paddy field? How does it look like? Or have you been to the dairy farm? What could you say about that?

Yeaa.. This post will give you an idea about the relation between agriculture aspects that we use to see in the village with the modern technology  that we own in today’s world. How it can be used together? And what are the related technologies?

So, now… you have to fasten your seat belt and keep reading!

Technology is one of the biggest influences in our life. Am I right? Nowadays, around the world everyone starts to use technology to solve their daily problems and it is also happened to the farmers. FARMERS?? Does technology help them? yaa.. Technology does!

There many agricultural problems that has been solved by using technology. Let us start with Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). This technology can be applied to the agricultural sectors in two ways:

-Production management (from tracking growth and reproduction records to integrating transportation information.

-Inventory management (from boosting operational efficiency to minimizing loos and damages).

So, how it can be really meet with the solution? Ok, this RFID works really simple but totally efficient. Let us take an example of dairy farms. As we used to know that, traditionally dairy farmers are using simple livestock tags and stick it to the cow‘s ear which need to be absorbed every day. In the other hand, RFID –enhanced microchip which will give instant identification and moreover, it can give a complete information of each individual such as body type, growth development and greatly facilitate vaccination managerial efficiency. So, at the end of the day, the farmers are no longer need to worry on how to identify their cattle herds, swine litters or sheep flocks.

Another useful technology that can be used for agricultural is Geographic Information System (GIS) which is used in mapping the world. Yuupp… Those of you who are already familiar with GPS will also know how this tool works. It used for surveying landscapes and quickly capture large amount of spatial data for the analysis. This tool is really helpful for all the agricultural industry in measuring the size of the land.

Last but not least, we have Cloud Computing. It provides remote services to distance user by using Internet.  By implementing this, farmers can input and keep track of expenses, sales, inventory levels, total salary paid to hired hands, quarterly production quantity and other accounting figures. In advance, not only farmers who get benefit from cloud computing, but the costumers also can benefit it by making the wealth of information public through cloud computing. It keeps the nation’s farmers informed of the latest changes in the environment, market prices and economic trends, which will help balance domestic supply and demand.

With all these handy services and practical information at hand, the nation’s agricultural sector is one step closer to becoming healthier, less complicated and more superior than ever before!

so, thank you technology for helping our farmers!
