IMO a lot of companies are trying to put more sensors on things which seems kinda dumb to me. Ok you can put 100 soil moisture sensors in my one field for 'precision ag' but what happens when i drive a big ass tractor over the field and smash the sensors?

There is a push for being more 'data-driven' and many farmers are adopting these technologies now. Some companies are more of a book-keeping type thing where you can put in your activites, they will show you some satellite imagery etc. There is also a big push for sustainability now. One of these companies is http://www.agrible.com/




I would assume that they're building sensors that can handle a tractor driving over them.
