The Challenge
Woolf Farming’s permanent crop manager, Kevin Visser, wanted to find a way to work closer with his agronomist and, at the same time, recognized that he needed a digital tool that could help him create better plans and reports than what he was used to. Kevin’s agronomy provider, Soil Basics, introduced him to Agworld and showed him the opportunities and capabilities of the platform. Once Kevin realized how this system would benefit Woolf Farming on a daily basis, he decided to adopt Agworld as well.
About The Customer
Woolf Farming has been part of the central California farming community since 1974. What started as a traditional farming operation, has slowly developed into a large and diversified organization with developments throughout California. Kevin Visser, the permanent crop manager of Woolf Farming’s home ranch in Huron, explains: “The company has changed over time from a traditional cropping pattern towards higher value crops. Our main crops are now almonds, pistachios, processing tomatoes, Pima cotton and wheat. Depending on the season and commodity prices, we sometimes also grow some garbanzos, garlic, kale, spinach and bell peppers – but only small quantities.”
The Solution
Kevin’s agronomy provider, Soil Basics, introduced him to Agworld and showed him the opportunities and capabilities of the platform. Once Kevin realized how this system would benefit Woolf Farming on a daily basis, he decided to adopt Agworld as well. By using Agworld as his platform for budgeting, planning and analyzing his operations, Woolf Farming has been able to simplify and streamline their day-to-day operational processes. They have also gained superior insights into their farming operation by being able to see exactly how much they have spent on each block at any time during the season.

Greenhouse Intelligent Monitoring and Control Solution
Farming Orchids is the most successful form of precision farming in Taiwan, and also the most exported flower. Orchids need a specific temperature and humidity conditions to grow and bloom, and its flowering time may not be in line with market demands, so the price collapses when there is overproduction. Therefore, some farmers began to import automated greenhouse control systems for breeding and forcing, which not only improves quality, but also effectively controls the production period and yield to ensure revenue. In 2012, an orchid farmer built a Forcing Greenhouse of about 200 pings (approximately 661 Square Meters) in Tainan, Taiwan. The system integrator adopted Advantech’s APAX-5000 series programmable automation controllers to build the control platform, coupled with Advantech WebAccess HMI/SCADA software, to achieve cloud monitoring. The staff of the orchid field can monitor important data anytime via smart phone, iPad, and other handheld devices, and control the growth and flowering conditions. System requirements: In the past, most environmental control systems of orchid greenhouses in Taiwan used PLCs (Programmable Logic Controller) with poorscalability and control, and could not be connected to the Internet formonitoring from the cloud. For advanced database analysis and networking capability, the PC platform must be adopted. Therefore, PAC Systems (Programmable Automation Controller) with both PLC programming capabilities andPC functions is a better choice.The environmental control of the Orchid greenhouse switches on and off devices like fan, shade net, cooling/heat pump, liquid flow control, water-cooling wall etc. It is controlled by a control panel of electric controllers, and is driven by a motor, to adjust the greenhouse temperature, humidity, and other environmental conditions to the set parameters.

Precision beekeeping with wireless temperature monitoring
Honeybees are insects of large economic value and provide a vital service to agriculture by pollinating a variety of crops. In addition, bees provide us with valuable products such as honey, beeswax, propolis, bee venom, etc. Monitoring of honeybee colony health, population, productivity, and environmental conditions affecting the colony health have always been exceedingly difficult tasks in apiculture. Research has shown that even small deviations (by more than 2°C) from the optimal temperatures have a significant influence on the development of the brood and the health of adult bees.
