Sustainable Ag Expo  I  November 12    I    10:30-11:15 am SmartFarm is an open source computing system that combines advances in AI, the Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud computing to support applications in digital agriculture. SmartFarm simplifies the use of these advances and can run on-farm (to keep farm data private) while it efficiently and intelligently controls on-farm operations (sensing, robotics, irrigation, and others).
