    This paper presents the results of empirical studies about acceptance and use of computer on farms in Germany. Over the last three years a questionnaire was distributed to the visitors at the "Agrarcomputertage", a fair for information technology in agriculture, in Lower Saxony (2002), Bavaria (2003) and Hesse (2004). This paper is displaying the results of the latest study. The focus of the empirical study in 2004 had been the role of the computer in farm management. The results of this study display, that farm management is a time-consuming (on average 40 hours per month) and challenging task. A computer is helpful for farm management. Many farmer also get support from specialists, e.g. for book-keeping. Farmers plan to invest especially in applications of mobile computing and field management programmes.

    Vom Daten- zum Wissensmanagement: Wofür verwenden Landwirte einen Computer?
    (Land- und Ernährungswirtschaft im Wandel – Aufgaben und Herausforderungen für die Agrar und Umweltinformatik, 2006) Rosskopf, Karin; Wagner, Peter
    Agriculture is a knowledge-intensive business. This paper is going to expand the discussions on ICT adoption to the field of knowledge management. The question is not any more if a computer with Internet access is available, but rather for what knowledge processes it is used for. For this, the results of empirical studies over the last four years in Germany will be presented. The results display, that farmers focus the ICT use on knowledge generation and storage, but not to the same extent for interactive knowledge sharing processes. Farmer's are regarding the Internet as their most important information source, followed by agricultural journals and the state extension service. Lack of training and benefits are the main ICT adoption barriers.
