More farmers are using computers, but pace slowing

From USA Today:

American farmers are buying computers and using them for business, but at a much slower pace than they did just two years ago, a new federal study shows.

The rate for both computer ownership and business usage increased just 1% from 2003 to 2005, according to a survey conducted every two years by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“It appears that computer usage, ownership, and Internet access on farms are leveling off,” the report, released Friday, said.
