Abstract
Eighty percent of the 80 respondents attending the 1991 Top Farmer Crop Workshop at Purdue University were using computers. This level of adoption is consistent with predictions based on earlier studies for farmers of this age, educational level, and farm size. Gross farm sales, debt-asset ratio, off-farm investments and the individual's rating of information sources and management skills were some of the additional factors affecting adoption among these farmers. Computers were rated most useful for the management activities of business record-keeping and business planning. These activities and crop record-keeping are the primary uses, in terms of time, of computers by most farmers.
