Precision farming includes the farm management (adopting new techniques for improving the productivity using farm management system), which plays the main role in planning, making the decisions, processing to achieve the attributes of smart farming. It also includes micro-controllers, grain storage management modules and WSNs. The farms that are far away from the natural resources like lakes or rivers must utilize ground water resources. To provide the ground water resources, solar power supply has to be arranged. All such problems can be solved through precision farming. It is a new kind of farm management using information technology to collect precise information about soil, crop and weather conditions for optimal crop production (Pierce et al., 1997; Paucar et al., 2015; http://www.cema-agri.org/page/3-precision-crop-management. Precision farming includes greenhouse farming, indoor farming and vertical farming with sensors and satellite image technology.
