Big data farming also known as precision farming is being widely used in several developed countries to make agriculture production more efficient. Precision agriculture collects real time data on weather, soil and air quality, crop maturity, equipment, labor costs and availability to carry out agriculture activities. Farmers use these techniques to determine the amount of nutrients, water, seed and other inputs to produce wide range of crops on diverse soil environments, thereby increasing farm and crop yield. Commercial farmers should consider adopting precision farming technologies to minimize input costs to increase farm productivity.
