N2 - The Internet of Things (IOT), the idea of getting real-world objects connected with each other, will change the ways we organize, obtain and consume information radically. Through sensor networks, agriculture can be connected to the IOT, which allows us to create connections among agronomists, farmers and crops regardless of their geographical differences. With the help of the connections, the agronomists will have better understanding of crop growth models and farming practices will be improved as well. This paper reports on the design of the sensor network when connecting agriculture to the IOT. Reliability, management, interoperability, low cost and commercialization are considered in the design. Finally, we share our experiences in both development and deployment.
