Farmers Only

Inspiration

Learning about the problems farmers faced (especially in earning profits) inspired us to create this project to help them with their difficulties. Some of us remember going to farms for things like cherry pickings like kids, and thinking of those experiences also inspired us to work on this project.

What it does

Our project helps farmers by allowing them to simply input the amount they would be willing to be spending on seeds and their address and shows them the best seeds to plant based on the location. We used some mock data in this version, but it would work the same with real data. This helps them decide what to plant for the maximum profit.

How we built it

We built this project through python and Tkinter and also used an API to get real climate data. We also used Visual Studio Code to make all of this.

Challenges we ran into

One challenge we ran into was making the front end: Originally, we intended it to be a React website. However, when we realized it would take too much time, we decided to Tkinter for the front end. Another challenge was distributing the work. However, we learned to use GitHub to help with collaboration.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of being able to use an API to make our project and integrate it with the rest of our code. We are also proud in learning quickly about using GitHub and more.

What we learned

We learned how to collaborate better using Git and also learning to use new APIs.

What's next for Farmers Only

We hope to expand this project by possibly making it a website later using React and Flask. We also hope to switch out mock data for real data and add even more plants in the database.
