Today ’ s farmers are producing significantly more corn on fewer acres .
From buried IoT sensors that can accurately predict future yields , to smart dashboards that integrate crop and field data from thousands of acres , the farms of the future will need to be even more connected , productive and sustainable . The world ’ s population is depending on it .
