On a visit to the countryside last
summer, I was pleasantly surprised to see many changes in the way the
agricultural and farming community lived. While it was always so say a decade
ago that the technological changes experienced and enjoyed by the urban
populace reached the farmyards after a long time if at all, it was heartwarming
to see that improved communication, internet, TV etc. had brought the latest
technology right at the doorsteps of farmyards almost at the same time as the
urban world. Security gadgets and systems were some of the latest that were
being used almost everywhere to the full advantage of the farmers.
Farmers were an over burdened lot
with too much to do physically but farming was a soul-satisfying profession that
they would not change for the world. With new tools like farm equipment cameras or security cameras, a lot of burden has been taken off their shoulders
and they seem to be a more relaxed lot after these have been introduced in
their lives.
Only a few years ago security had
become a worrisome issue that was difficult to handle. Canadian farmyards are huge estates and even
the smaller ones are more than a thousand acres size. It is difficult to fence
such big estates and leaving them open as they were used to was causing
problems because of increasing incidences of intruders, burglars and the likes.
Security systems with cameras placed at vantage points that could cover all
entry points was the best answer to this situation. Canadian farmers have
started using these security measures in a big way. Ideally, the best wireless security camera placed inconspicuously can secure the place in a much
better way than perhaps a human guard or a dog can do. The best security
wireless camera can operate 24 x 7 without a halt all round the year which no
guard or dog can do. The farmer can observe the monitor and see what is going
on all over his farm and does not have to waste his time and energy patrolling
the place. He can put this time and energy to better and more productive use.
Farm equipment cameras are also
extensively being used by Canadian farmers and they have helped in controlling
wastages and increasing efficiency of machines in a really big way. Tractor
cameras that can be installed on tractors can tell the driver what is happening
at the back of his tracto
Farmers have never had it as good as
now and you can see the results; better yields and happier farmers!
