Indian is a land of villages, almost 70% people lives in villages in India. Agriculture is the backbone of Indian economy and to strengthen it we have to use modern agricultural techniques. This paper proposes the use of Wireless sensors network and cloud computing to increase the production with least waste of resources and time. WSN monitors the soil moisture, pH, temperature and other important factors. It helps the farmers to understand the individual crop and its requirement. WSN make farmers to identify and use fertilizers, irrigation and other requirement at appropriate amount and time. WSN are itself capable of performing tasks like automatic irrigation and automatic sprinkling of fertilizers after analyzing the data gathered by it. Cloud computing application make farmer more smart and intelligent. WSN can be interface with a Cloud which stores data generated by sensor nodes. Cloud allows famer to check his a farm data anywhere in the world at any instance of time and the same data can be accessed by experts at different locations to advise appropriate measures to overcome the issues.
