I. Introduction

The Farm Management System as we know, is windows desktop. application intended to bring change in the ways farmers

cultivate crops today to a completely different level. are uniquely suited to working cohesively with IoT insert. This revolutionary

be able to monitor the status of their farms with ease. manage their resources. However this formulated and packaged

comprehensive strategy is not only increases efficiency while at the same time fosters increased extraction and exploitation of the

environment. amiable and non-hazardous techniques for agriculture..

II. Literature Review

Farm Management Systems (FMS) are fixed on Windows platform. applications that helps farms manage their businesses. more

productively and successfully. Farm Management Such systems may monitor a variety of data such as crop. PPEs include;

inventory, equipment, and environmental. Farm Management Systems can also provide farmers with information as well as ideas

that will enable the mass make better decisions with regards to their operations. It must be noted that our approach can be used to

identify places which may contain possibilities to save money, increase efficiency of yields, environmental impact reduced.

Here a few highlighted points that the study has brought out. This based research this paper has found several others that have

environmental imprint [7]. Compatibility and smooth integration of FMS with other technologies, such as IoT sensors, drones, and

weather forecasting systems, are critical for realizing their full potential [8, 9]. Also Understanding what elements influence FMS

adoption is critical [10]. Investigate the impact of farmers' socioeconomic status, perceived benefits, and obstacles to FMS use.

Data privacy problems and an initial investment cost are among the challenges [11]. Furthermore, there is an opportunity to

improve the user interface. Future research directions include the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning to

advanced decision assistance and predictive analytics [12,13]. Integrated farm management system aimed at improving sustainable

agriculture practices. It addresses how precision agriculture, IoT, and data analytics might help with decision-making, resource

efficiency, and overall farm productivity [14]. It studies the uptake of cloud-based agricultural systems and evaluates their impact

on efficiency and resource use. It emphasizes the benefits of cloud technologies in terms of real-time data access, collaboration, and

scalability for modern farming operations [15]. This paper aims at exploring the place of artificial intelligence (AI) and especially

impacts of climatic change on their operations [17]. The subject of this research is The Internet of Things Although the Internet of

Things is a relatively young phenomenon, it has enjoys ever-growing popularity. The Extension of Physical items (IoT) utilization

in agriculture, provide complete Brief summary about sensors, devices and multi-device communication technologies. It analyses

the potential of Internet of Things in connected the apparatus to an agricultural management software to track crops. For example,

they can be used to rationalize work processes, and enhance efficiency [18]. This research employs the economic evaluation

approach to arrive at the conclusion on the financial. consequences of the application of precision agricultural technologies into

farm management systems and, at the same time, adopted criteria for using the new technologies and allied resources. It looks at

the efficiency on the aspects of cost such as GPS-guided equipment, variable rate technology and automated. machinery [19].

Identifying difficulties and opportunities, this study looks at factors that define the as a precondition for efficient use of FMIS. They

address issues of Technology adoption, Data privacy, and farmer education; the relative importance given to impact, adoption rates

and aggregation of the best supply chain management solutions. food safety, to create confidence amongst the stakeholders [22].

This study concerns itself with impacts of the technologies in farm management. farmers in developing countries. It examines the

adoption barriers, opportunities, and a possible function of IT in This evaluation shows that the fund utilizes more of poverty

reduction and rural development goal [23].

Thus, the research founds out that limitations in Farming management solutions and emphasizes the need to use of technology in

synergy with other systems like forecast on weather conditions and Internet of Things sensors to be precisely positioned and

interconnected to one another. The research identifies limitations in Farming management solutions and underlines the importance

of technology integration with systems such as weather forecasts and Internet of Things sensors. Socioeconomic factors and

perceived benefits are important factors that affect the adoption of FMS; obstacles include investment costs and data privacy.

Future studies should concentrate on combining machine learning and artificial intelligence for advanced decision assistance, as

Methodology is essential in project and software development because it provides a structured and systematic approach to

planning, executing, and managing complex tasks. It helps ensure that the project progresses efficiently, meets its objectives, and

minimizes risks. By following a methodology, such as Agile, Waterfall, or DevOps, teams can establish clear processes, define

roles and responsibilities, and set realistic timelines and milestones, which collectively enhance project transparency and

accountability. Moreover, methodologies often incorporate best practices and lessons learned from previous projects, contributing

to improved project quality and successful outcomes [24]. By considering all possible causes and effects we are planning to go with

agile methodology.

V. Conclusions

In conclusion, the Farm Management System is going to be a tool to transform conventional agricultural strategy to a modern

agriculture. It enables farmers to make informed decisions, improve efficiency, and maximize yields by leveraging technology and

data. This technology not only simplifies administrative work, but it also promotes sustainable practices, protecting our agricultural

ecosystem. Its ability to eliminate waste, increase resource utilization, and improve overall farm profitability cannot be overstated.
