I was considering the clip we watched on the Internet of Things, specifically the section that described a home being managed simply by the data being put into it. Where the water is heated ahead of time because the home understand the temperature outside, etc. And I was thinking, who could really use that technology? Farmers!
Farmers could really use machines that know when to turn themselves on or off, or when they would be most useful to run on which days of the week. Check out how much water gets used by farms, and more importantly, how much is wasted. Just think, if farmers had sprinkler systems that knew when it was going to rain, they could shut themselves down and save plenty of water. And that might even save the crops from over-watering, as well.
Alex your proposal is already being implemented, I've seen some discovery channel shows that talk about exactly what you've proposed. Also browsed through some articles online just now, I think this one on future farming tech might be of interest to you.
