Reviewer 2 Report
Dear Sir/Madam
I study article about Smart Farming Revolution: Farmer’s Perception and Adoption of Smart IoT Technologies for Crop Health Monitoring and Yield Prediction in Jizan, Saudi Arabia. The article is well organized but its overall form is more like a thesis. In my opinion, the content should be summarized in all sections. Objectives and hypotheses should be written in short sentences. The final conclusion is also very long.
