Computer Use by Ohio Commercial Farmers
研究俄亥俄州商业农场主采用计算机的影响因素，发现年龄大、教育水平低的农场主更少使用计算机，且应用种类少。
Abstract Although computer technologies have evolved rapidly, farmers have been slow to adopt these technologies. This research identifies factors influencing farmers' adoption of computers and the number and type of applications for which the computer is used. Ohio commercial farmers were randomly sampled and analyzed using multinomial logit techniques. Results suggest that older farmers are less likely to adopt computers, less likely to find them useful, and make fewer applications of the computer in their business. Education level is positively associated with computer adoption and with increased numbers of applications made of the computer.
