Much information is now stored “in the cloud”, but time and labor to input information pose a bottleneck. Here, we propose a system for gathering environmental data automatically and estimating the work needed from the acquired data with the aim of reducing labor through the automation of farm work records. Our method obtains information using radio frequency identification in the UHF band and categorizes farm work using a naive Bayes classifier. To disseminate this system, we developed it with a low cost structure. In this paper we report the configuration of the proposed system and the results of a demonstration.
