Farmers are not technophobic.. its just we are mainly quite skint these daysIn a way, yes.
1) I'm trying to democratise this kind of information and application, so it is easier to use for farmers who may be adverse to it, or technophobic. As well as share the kinds of existing free (software) tools they can use for this, and what benefits they get.
2) I'm trying to help farmers to implement this in a way that suits them once they have understood those benefits, so they can get more or better insights whether they get 1 or 2 sensors, or 500 sensors.
I guess I could do a post on 'how to build your own smart farm', but it would be many pages long, or hours of video. Mostly due to the technical side of things.
It would be easier for me to go, "here's a bunch of sensors you can buy". But I don't think everyone would want to built them, themselves.
But, I do want to give the community the options of building it themselves, because that's what I would do; whether it's tech, a shelf or gardening... DIY!
