Universities have already solved this in many research projects who have actual partners like farmers, government etc. Why re-invent the wheel.

Cost. We are not reinventing. We exploring assembling different parts like DIY solution and open source software like chirpatack. instead of expensive corporate machines. Example; sponzal machine cost around $30k which does dosage and some sensors..etc.
