USA Farm Computer Usage and Ownership (2015) See: http://www.usda.gov/nass/PUBS/TODAYRPT/fmpc0815.pdf This is an updated version of a document signalled by Ehud Gelb E-mail: ehud.gelb(a)mail.huji.ac.il Turning data into knowledge A new startup company is taking farm information and creating a computer model for decision-making on the farm. This is beyond yield maps. See: http://farmindustrynews.com/blog/turning-data-knowledge See: http://cropzilla.com/ Get ready for digitized farming by Jodie Wehrspann Jeremy Leifker, John Deere Intelligent Solutions Group, talks about using data for real-time adjustments on your farm and how that could enhance management. See: http://farmindustrynews.com/precision-farming/industry-insider-get-ready-digitized-farming Mobile devices in agriculture: attracting new audiences or serving the tech-savvy? By Mihály Csótó (HU) The latest wave of ICT-innovations are based around mobility (smart phones, tablets, wireless networks etc.). Mobility can be a decisive success factor of ICT-adoption, because of the spatial, local and remote nature of farming. New generation mobile devices can also have a lower barrier to entry in terms of skills and cost for the user/farmer. The question is whether these new devices, especially smart phones and tablets are adopted by the farmers who are already using computers and Internet or they are attracting new audiences as well? The author’s research in Hungary on the supply and demand side of the phenomenon shows that the “agri-app-economy” is still in its infancy, and both the supply and demand side are reflecting the current state and the earlier development of ICT-usage in agriculture. At the moment, new generation of mobile devices are not acting as a tool to overcome earlier and existing barriers of adoption, rather as an indicator of the general level of ICT-use in agriculture. Mobile devices are mainly used by “tech-savvy” farmers, as a general purpose technology – partly because of the lack of relevant applications in agriculture.
