Modern Agriculture uses Information Technology as much as and possibly more than most other industries.

  • Many markets for the sale of produce are now online.
  • RFID chips implanted in stock can trace an animal for its entire life, from the paddock it was born in right up to where it lands on your plate.
  • Farm accounting can now be done on the computer or remotely by the accountant, rather than needing to travel to the farm each time.
  • Online services track pest and disease outbreaks.
  • Better access to weather information as well as more weather information can be collected onsite.
  • GPS technology and mobile computing in the tractor cab allow the farmer to have more control over the implement, make more accurate passes and even now have a tractor working autonomously.
  • Video conferencing allows people to meet remotely rather than needing to make a long trip.
  • Many farmers may setup a website in an attempt to market their produce to a much wider audience.
