LoRa technology has shown to be a very promising option for implementing a variety of Internet of Things applications. One such application is the private farming remote monitoring. In this paper, the authors present a LoRa-based pilot that employs sensing devices across a private farming area to measure environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity. Using the pilot, the authors carried out field experiments with different protocol configurations to measure the performance of LoRa technology under realistic conditions. The results shown that the protocol configurations have severe impact on the performance of the pilot. Moreover, external parameters like the temperature and the field obstacles can affect the behaviour of the pilot.
