These have helped farmers to produce large crops of a good quality in a fairly predictable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But there\u2019s still progress to be made in getting the best possible yields from different kinds of soils. And big losses still occur \u2013 especially during and after harvest \u2013 where monitoring and handling of produce isn\u2019t done well. The industry needs smart and precise solutions and these are becoming available through new technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Smart farming aims to use modern technology to improve yield and product quality. <a href=\"https:\/\/rayscohosting.best\/ASM\/wp-admin\/post.php?post=7821&#038;action=edit\">Read more&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Modern farming has evolved by adopting technical advances such as machines for ploughing and harvesting, controlled irrigation, fertilisers, pesticides, crop breeding and genetics research.
