Agritech or diversification opportunities

Hello.

Looking for ideas for what I can do in my spare time. I'm a beef and sheep farmer, I find myself with not much to do some days after doing the routine work. I work for a contractor in the summer, but looking to stop doing that as it takes me away from the farm and spending long days in the tractor seems less desirable as I get older. I'm 30 years old, got a degree in rural business management, based north Cornwall.

I'm looking for something part time where I can work from home, ideally related to agriculture. I'm quite keen with technology, and I would like to get involved with some sort of agritech project or possibly diversify into something along similar lines. I'd love to hear anyone's ideas or if anyone knows of something suitable.

If I was 20 years younger I'd be looking at GPS and precision application technology. I have little knowledge in this area but I think it will become ever more important.
