Abstract: A survey of farmers shows substantial interest in microcomputers. Many want microcomputers to store and analyze their financial, production, and marketing data. These applications will require enormous software development efforts. An educational effort is needed to promote understanding of computers so that farmers can make good decisions concerning computer use.
