Research: <\/b>Internet-of-Things Sap Flow Gauge<\/span><\/p>\n

I am inspired by the impact our research could have on management practices in agriculture. Open-source-low-cost systems bring technology to places and circumstances otherwise inaccessible. Implementation of this tech will improve management operations and processes in the ag industry, and make jobs easier by enhancing overall performance.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
