Mobile phones have allowed farmers to gain access to market prices before traveling long distances to markets. The Kenyan text messaging platform SokoniSMS64 uses SMS to quickly transfer exact information about wholesale retails of crops, allowing farmers to be able to negotiate deals with traders and improve upon timing to get crops to the market. Other innovations include the use of mobiles to track livestock reproduction. The service "iCow from M-Farm" enables farmers to track a cow's individual gestation so they never miss an opportunity to expand their herd. The application also helps keep track of feed types, schedules, local veterinary contact information and precise market prices of cattle. Similar mechanics have also allowed the SMS based application Tigo Kilimo in Tanzania to provide instant weather figures and agricultural tips to small-scale farms.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; position: relative; list-style: none;">http://techcrunch.com/2012/05/27/mobile-developing-world/</p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; position: relative; list-style: none;"><br></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; position: relative; list-style: none;"><br></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; position: relative; list-style: none;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p></div><div><br></div>
