Aussie Farms of the Future to be Internet Connected

The Internet of Things is getting traction and becoming more infused in our lives – for good reason.
Nowadays, almost everything is connected to the web – television, cars and even coolers, but there’s one area that the Internet of Things can bring massive convenience to – the Australian agriculture industry.
According to Business Standard, our agriculture industry is one of the most enthusiastic adopters of IoT and the applications it can bring.
With data provided real-time, it’s now a possibility for farmers in rural and remote locations to work in acres of land and watch their properties across many areas, such as field, machinery and even finances.
The move to modernise Australia’s industry is past due and it’s great that it’s finally getting what it deserves. IoT can help farmers monitor the state of their livestock, since it allows them to observe movement of the animals and establish better grazing patterns that will produce more yield.
The Internet of Things also solves two issues hounding the agriculture industry: Irrigation and Productivity in the agriculture space. Almost every year there are reports that include these issues and thanks to the IoT, they have a chance to be resolved.
The use of real-time data about soil, weather, air quality and hydration levels in Internet of Things can help farmers improve their decisions regarding planting and harvesting crops.
With the nbn satellite Sky Muster^® satellite in full swing, expect many farms in remote and rural Australia to finally have a fast and stable Internet connection that will allow them to start the basic application of the Internet of Things when it comes to their farming.
