summary

FarmBeats pairs off‑the‑shelf drones, ground moisture probes (sensing at 4" and 12"), and aerial imagery to predict soil moisture across fields using Gaussian processes so a handful of sensors can be extrapolated to an entire plot. Connectivity, not hardware, drives the 1000 dollars per sensor cost, so prototypes use TV white spaces to span 2000‑acre sites; an iOS app drives point/area flights, drones store imagery locally, yaw and path planning cut battery drain, and Kenya/India pilots report successful prototypes.
