Agriculture is major part of GDP (Gross Domestic Product) for most of the countries in the world. Drone based farming is trendy across different countries, it will not only help to monitor the crop field but also predict the health hazards from the plant. It will help us to plan the crop production according to storage or order requests from outsiders. IOT device installation in agriculture field are projected to experience a compound annual growth rate of 20%. As per Machina Research report published on Jan 2016, the number of connected agricultural devices is expected to grow from 13 million at the end of 2014 to 225 million by 2024. Drones are aerial vehicle applied to agro farming in order to help increase crop production and monitor crop growth. This paper describes about how drone sensing & blockchain helps a farmer, merchant, agent and farm monitor team.
