Modern smart agriculture increasingly relies on edge computing for real-time, high-concurrency tasks such as wide-area drone-based crop monitoring. However, highly volatile workloads and severe environmental noise in agricultural Internet of Things (IoT) networks often lead to resource congestion and high latency when relying on traditional reactive scheduling. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a hybrid prediction-driven proactive resource scheduling method for edge computing. We construct a Variational Mode Decomposition-Convolutional Neural Network-Attention-Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory (VMD-CNN-Attention-BiLSTM) model to filter environmental noise and accurately capture the spatio-temporal features of bursty traffic. Furthermore, a deep reinforcement learning scheduling algorithm based on Proximal Policy Optimization (PPO) incorporates future workload trends into its state space, dynamically optimizing task offloading. To evaluate the proposed Predictive Computational Scheduling Framework (PCSF), we developed a custom edge computing simulation environment and synthesized a hybrid dataset combining real-world server logs from the Alibaba Cluster Trace with deep learning inference workloads derived from a Wheat Plant Diseases image repository. Simulations demonstrate that the prediction model achieves a Root Mean Square Error of 0.030 and a Mean Absolute Error of 0.0215. Compared to static and reactive baselines, the PCSF reduces average task timeout violations to 2.2 and total system energy consumption by nearly 40%. This proactive mechanism effectively overcomes decision-making lags, enabling efficient, low-latency computing resource allocation for modern agricultural facilities.
