Farmer Interview

1. Do current farmers have a remote way to monitor farm’s situation? If yes, what's that, and do you find it useful? If not, what's something that you would want if possible?
   We do have some remote ways to monitor the farm such as cameras, but it's only used for monitor if there's any thief or animals that may damage the plants. We would want more devices that can monitor factors in the farm such as luminosity and temperature.
2. How proficient are you with software operations?
   I have a smart phone, but I only use it for WeChat and phone calls, but my son can operate them quite well, I think.
3. How do you monitor and find out the situation of plant growth at the farm?
   Basically, what I used to do is to go down to the farm and see the situation with my hands and eyes.
4. How often do you monitor the situation at the farm?
   At least once a day at morning.
5. What's the size of your field and how many times would you need to organize them everyday?
   My land for wheat is half a MU, and there's also half a MU for corn, about quatre a MU for potato and other vegetables. (MU is a Chinese Unit of area, equal to 1/15 of a hectare or 1/6 an acre)
