<br>"The app is the very first thing I check as soon as I wake up," said Murali, whose farm is [planted](http://leveledconstruction.com) with sensing units providing constant updates on soil moisture, [yewiki.org](https://www.yewiki.org/User:ZakHindman1825) nutrient levels and [farm-level](http://mariskamast.net) weather condition forecasts.<br> |
