Table 7 reports mean responses of survey questions for computer use and specific
purposes of farm financial records. More than 90% of the participants with higher bids use a
computer for farm record keeping, while only 68% of participants with bids under $15,000 do so.
Participants with bids over $15,000 had higher rates of computer ownership and computer usage
for farm tasks. The no-bid participants had lower percentage computer ownership but seemed to
better utilize the computer for farm tasks than participants with bids under $15,000.
