Abstract: TELFARM (Today's Electronic Farm Records for Management) was officially launched on January 1, 1964. It was developed out of and replaced a mail-in account system which had been in operation in Michigan since 1957. This mail-in system provided much of the experience and clientele that made it possible to begin full scale operation with over 1,000 members. The need for an organized survey of farmer member reactions and an expression of feelings about the Telfarm program has been expressed by the Department of Agricultural Economics and the Telfarm staff. This evaluation study originated from this expressed need. The purpose of this research is to obtain a general evaluation of how Telfarm members feel about the program. In general, the study will inquire into members attitudes toward satisfaction, use, difficulty, disadvantages, and changes desired.
