NC State, ECU, and SAS Collaborate on IoT Sensors to Aid North Carolina Farmers
Researchers from North Carolina State University, East Carolina University, and SAS are collaborating on a pilot project to deploy affordable agricultural sensor systems in Eastern North Carolina. These sensors are designed to provide real-time data on water depth, soil moisture, and salinity, helping farmers manage risks associated with flooding and soil salinity. The project, initiated in Hyde County, aims to offer timely insights to farmers, allowing them to better prepare for adverse weather conditions and protect their crops, livestock, and equipment. This initiative is part of a broader effort to integrate scientific advances into agricultural practices, enhancing the resilience of the farming sector in the face of climate challenges.
