I hate it when the articles aren't about what I thought they were about.

WICHITA, Kansas (AP) -- 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.

Must be slow updates in Farm software, so the need to upgrade is not that great.

They need to upgrade for borgability!

You'd thinking that these guys would know all about "farming"!

who the hell does a study like that???
That's like saying only 49% of lifeguards use sombrero's while on duty.....

 

[Tormond]

That would be called "Federal Tax dollars at work". Now if only we could get them to spend some on boxen

I would like to commision a study that catalogues every other study done with Tax dollars and list them by percentage of the study that is BS.
Of course... my study would be paid for by US tax dollars as well.....

I would have to second this, but I think that we are looking at greater than 99% in the initial study.

 

[[H]ugh_Freak]

So are you guys saying us KS farmers don't know what we are doing?

I Third the motion for the study of studies.

 

[Mad Machinist]

After spending time re-running CAT5 at a locale tractor dealer and seeing how many addons they have for tractors now, the next thing will be installing computers in them instead of using a laptop.
