Extract

Adoption of computerized decision analysis and computerized communications technology in many agricultural production and marketing situations will occur rapidly in the next decade. Computer hardware, such as microcomputers and large central processors, has become more reliable while costs have declined dramatically. Coupled with this has been the escalating costs of people and product transportation.
