Abstract

While the world continues to evolve toward enhanced computer and Internet usage, the agricultural arena has been slower to follow. The objective of this survey was to examine the computer utilization practices of cow-calf producers through a nationwide mail survey. By understanding the demographics of today's producers, as well as if and how they are using their personal computers and the Internet, the industry can work toward educating producers about the benefits of this technology.
