What benefits can wireless bring to farmers?

Hi,

I'm a mobile telecommunication engineer providing services to a mobile operator in Ireland. I'm also currently doing a part time masters in Innovation, design & Entrepreneurship in University College Dublin and part of the course is aimed towards us developing a start-up or in my case a new line of business. One area I'm really interested in investigating is the benefits of bringing wireless to farmers. My family are all farmers (I strayed from the pack with my engineering ways) so this is where the interest comes from.

Make note that the Arduino screw shield is not required. An electric imp however is required. Without the Arduino screw shield, you can make this complete circuit and start harvesting temperatures wherever you have internet access.
