A human who does farming for himself and for others is called a farmer. In this process, the farmer grows raw food items and makes sure availability of agriculture-related products.

The farmer grows food items as a complete crop, a mixed crop, and for buying & selling purposes for the Market different ways are there to work as an agriculturer.

A farmer can have their own farm (a piece of Land and its measurements may vary from location to location), or can work as agricultural-labor in other farms. Hence, we can say that a farmer can have many roles in agriculture.

A farmer can use this equipment as per need and financial conditions. There are many more types of equipment that are using by the farmer as the latest and advanced technology. For example,

  • Farming drones
  • Robotic technology
  • Automatic Tractors like equipment
  • Farming Satellite imaging Data, etc.

Let us discuss a few ones.

What is Use of drones in agriculture?

Drones in farming (Agriculture drones) is a new concept from a few past years. Farming drones are used for many works to take advantage of the latest technology in farming.

  • Drones are used as automatic sprayers, which overcome labor costs in farms, and this also saves time.
  • Crop imaging data collection of a big farm or land.

3 Understanding the basic things about farming with technology, which is available.

Some of the basics of modern farming are,

  • Soil test
  • Quality and Quantity of seeds
  • Season of crops (Planting, sowing, etc)
  • Grafting
  • Use of fertilizers
  • Use of Pesticides or insecticides
  • Pruning
  • Harvest

These are very common aspects of farming, and I think if you want to become a successful farmer then, you must know about these.

But, what about the relationship among these basic points (Given above) with technology, let us explain.

By doing a soil test one can know about the type of soil in their farm/land. This is very important from the perspective of advanced farming.

A soil test can be done from the nearest agriculture institute or from any convenient location where this service available. Some of the very important nutrients for any plant growth are Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), and along with these a pH level (acidity & alkalinity) also plays an important role for many plants.

Now some of the Soil test kits available in the market for use at home, and you do not need to go for a soil test in any agriculture institute, etc. These are for beginners, but if are facing any soil-related problems for a long time, and you have no solution for that then, you should contact the nearest agriculture institute.

4 Social Engagement for understanding newly coming Agriculture technologies.

A social engagement means how farmers interact with each other to share information about new ongoing or upcoming technologies in the agriculture industry.

If a farmer or any other person who is directly or indirectly correlates with farming understand and knows any new technology in the agriculture field.

Then, one should share this info with other farmers or people who are interested in farming. Because, if we do not share knowledge at the platform of social engagement then, how will other farmers take advantage of it too.

5 Community empowerment of farmers.

Here I mean to say if a community of farmer on a local level or at a big scale level can, 

  • Solve farmer’s problems
  • Share the latest technology information amongst them
  • Encouraged to do Organic farming with technology
  • Helping the farmers even on small scale to till wherever possible

Although farmer unions are there to raise the voice of other farmers but I think that’s not enough. Connecting with farmers on a regular basis or eventually schedule programs to make a strong bond with a farmer to a farmer as per an agriculture perspective is very important.
