George Gillispie*

The objective of this article is to report of data collected to search for the perceived challenges and opportunities of implementing an IoT (Internet of Things) infrastructure in the almond production industry in the Central Valley of California. The researcher examined the perceived beliefs and attitudes of almond orchardists, and IoT practitioners towards IoT automation to replace current irrigational systems. Through the qualitative method, this research study involved cross-case analysis of two cases, and recent literature regarding IoT automation and almond production.
