Farming for the future with the Internet of Things
It might well be handy for your fridge to tell you when you’re out of milk (or even order some more up), for the TV to be able to speak to the toaster and to be able to turn the heating up when you’re heading home from work.
But somehow these sort of things didn’t really chime in the farming world - and even if they did then the chances are that the poor connectivity in many farms and rural areas, with dial-up broadband speeds and mobile signal not-spots, would hamper any communication, no matter how brief.
