In my opinion, what can really facilitate rural farmers in e-Agriculture is voice SMS in local language, giving them daily updates of local weather, crop information, DOs and DON'Ts in various farming methods and techniques, aggregation of buying and selling, market trends and prices, local success and failure stories told in first person by the person concerned, etc.

I am Kris Dev, ICT and e-Gov Consultant based out of Chennai, TN, India. We have tested 1 to N communication direct from a PC, using a mobile phone and modem to send messages through sms to all registered users. It is simple and effective to disseminate information to the field. We can support such implementations.
