Smart Farming Solutions
You can positively impact your farm with every smart farming decision.
A leaking silo. A dry field. A security breach. Incidents like these can have an impact on your profits. Smart farming uses Internet of Things (IoT) solutions to help you manage the unexpected. Every improvement — whether it’s reducing grain spoilage, monitoring irrigation or tightening security — can prevent problems and lead to higher yields, increased volume and better quality. All of which can ultimately grow your profits.
Let’s look at key features:
Tank Monitoring
Monitor storage conditions, stability and levels of tank contents like water and fuel. Respond instantly to unexpected changes.
Soil Management
Measure moisture levels and make adjustments for the higher yields that come from precision agriculture.
Weather Stations
Respond to changing weather conditions with sensors that talk to irrigation, frost control and other devices, triggering automatic responses.
Smart Irrigation
Conserve resources and optimize yields by automating irrigation to respond to remote commands and changing weather.
Greenhouse Monitoring
Maintain optimal atmospheric conditions (including temperature, humidity and lighting) to help optimize yields.
Smart Farm Office
Automate, monitor and optimize office devices like thermostats, smoke and carbon dioxide detectors, lighting, and security systems. Maintain business continuity with automatic internet failover.
Asset Tracking
Prevent vandalism and theft with remote monitoring that helps locate equipment, and manage the timely delivery of livestock and crops with vehicle tracking.
Security
Keep your farm safe with video monitoring, remote sensors and custom security measures that restrict access to critical areas.
Training & Support
Get upfront training and ongoing support for hassle-free implementation and operation.
Start or expand your precision farming system
To succeed in farming today, you must do more than manage your business wisely — you need to manage it precisely. Precision agriculture, also known as “smart farming,” gets you there. Combine IoT technology solutions like the ones below to collect and connect data that delivers actionable insights in real time. You’ll be able to quickly and precisely adjust how you monitor and care for crops and livestock, to achieve higher efficiency and produce better-quality products.
Smart farming solutions can bring higher yields, greater efficiency and reduced costs.

Remote Access to Control Panels
Fields, offices, tanks, greenhouses … your work happens in all corners of your farm campus and at all hours. Smart farming keeps you on top of everything with control panels that you can access from laptops, desktops or mobile devices. You’ll be able to view and control all systems, set and receive alerts, and make changes remotely to make sure you’re maximizing your efficiency and increasing your yield.
The average farm is expected to generate an average of 4.1 million data points per day in 2050.*

Soil Management
When your crops aren’t thriving as expected, you immediately begin to problem-solve. But you’re limited by what you can physically see or by the data you manually collect … unless you unlock the data hiding in your soil. UScellular provides soil management solutions that deliver data on moisture, mineral and gas content so you can optimize your soil conditions for maximum yield.
Farms with connected technology produce up to 10% greater crop yields.*

Smart Irrigation
Weather. Soil conditions. Time of day. You need to monitor all of these factors to make decisions about when to water your crops and how much. Our smart irrigation solutions give you precision control, and deliver the insight you need to make decisions on the fly from your smart device. Reduce runoff, improve crop yields and conserve resources — while you save time and energy.
70% of the world’s water is used for agriculture. Smart irrigation reduces water waste.*
