USDA Farm Internet Access Study!

I had some interesting facts delivered to my inbox this morning via the Farmer Show Case Newsletter. 

According to USDA, 64 percent of US farms have computer access. That's unchanged from the previous survey two years ago.

Fifty-nine percent have Internet access, up from 57 percent in 2007. Thirty-six percent of farm computer users have DSL access, up from 27 percent in 2007. Twenty-three percent use dial-up, and 11 percent have cable access.

Thirteen percent of the farms report buying farm inputs over the Internet. Eighty-one percent of U.S. farms with sales of $250,000 or more have access to a computer, 76 percent of whom have Internet access.

Sixty-five percent of Minnesota farmers report having Internet access, along with 61 percent in North Dakota.

It is our intention to increase our marketing to farmers via the web in 2010 offering email specials.  If you want to be a part of this, you can sign up on our web site with a click here!
