        abstract = {Agriculture is increasingly challenged by inefficient resource utilization, un- predictable environmental conditions, and lack of real-time monitoring sys- terms. This paper proposes an intelligent smart farming stick that integrates FPGA-based processing with IoT-enabled sensors for precision agriculture. The system incorporates soil moisture, water level, and rain sensors to con- tenuously monitor field conditions. A Raspberry Pi with a camera module enables real-time crop monitoring and disease detection. The FPGA plat- form ensures low-latency processing and efficient control of irrigation systems based on sensor data. Furthermore, cloud integration allows remote monitoring and notification through a web interface. The proposed system reduces manual intervention, enhances water efficiency, and improves crop productivity. Experimental observations indicate that the system provides reliable and timely responses for agricultural automation, making it suitable for modern smart farming applications.},
