Internet of Agriculture (IoAg) Network and Services Platform

 To develop, test and validate an Internet of Agriculture (IoAg) Network and Service Platform that will provide precision agricultural data to enable farmers to increase crop yield, minimize cost, reduce water usage, and improve conservation of natural resources and environment. The primary work will be accomplished in the Grand Prairie Region of Arkansas where an extensive amount of work and investment has been made in automating on-farm data acquisition, data transfer, and control systems. One common problem with all data sensors is the communication and data transfer system that is either expensive and/or not compatible with other systems making it difficult for growers or organizations to collect and utilize field resource data critical to their operation.
