SCABCD/TUCE • SMART FARM BONUS

Before You Buy, Subscribe or Sign a Contract

Use this checklist before spending money on smart-farm equipment, software or services.

☐What exact farm problem will this solve?

☐What should it save or improve—time, water, fuel, labor, yield, quality or risk?

☐Does it require broadband or cellular service where I will actually use it?

☐Does it work with the equipment, phone or computer I already own?

☐What is the full first-year cost: equipment + installation + training + subscription + maintenance?

☐Who owns my farm data, and can I download/export it?

☐Who will repair it or help when it stops working?

☐Can I rent it, share it, hire the service or try a demonstration before I buy?

☐What happens if I stop paying the subscription?

☐Have I asked TUCE/Extension or another trusted agricultural adviser before making a major purchase?

SCABCD/TUCE Smart Farm rule: Start with one problem. Use the simplest tool that helps. Measure the result. Scale what works.
