Abstract

This paper outlines three basic issues states must consider before using computerized decision-making mode1s with farmers. These issues were identified from our experiences using an advanced linear programming model with grain farmers. One issue is creating an awareness with clientele of what a computer can do to help solve management problems. A theme that needs equal billing is what a computer cannot do. Many producers do not realize that computer hardware is not sufficient to solve a problem--that computer software must also be developed.A second issue revolves around whether the development and extension of models should be publicly financed or user funded. The final issue examines the merits of bringing farmers into a central workshop in close proximity to a computer versus decentralizing computer access by using remote terminals.
