What are some successful case studies in smart farming?

There are several successful case studies in smart farming. For instance, a farm in the Netherlands used IoT sensors to optimize water usage, resulting in a 30% reduction in water consumption.

Can you tell me more about that farm's technology?

Sure! The farm implemented soil moisture sensors that provide real-time data, allowing farmers to irrigate only when necessary, which conserves water and improves crop yield.

Are there any examples from the US?

Yes! In California, a vineyard used drones for aerial imaging to monitor crop health, which helped them identify issues early and increase their grape yield by 20%.

What challenges do these farms face?

Common challenges include high initial costs for technology, the need for technical expertise, and data management issues.
