Abstract:
|
The Internet is changing countless things about our society--the way we communicate, do business, gain information and more. While the Internet provides a multitude of services for most Americans, questions remain about its usefulness to the American farm operator searching for information and resources. A number of researchers consider the Internet capable of providing a powerful link between farmers, researchers, and other relevant agencies or groups, but past studies show that farmers are reluctant to adopt the Internet as a primary information source.
This paper will focus on the effects of farm operator Internet use on conservation practice adoption and Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) program participation in three Alabama watersheds. Particular attention will be given to indicators for both Internet use and conservation adoption. The paper will also examine the overall usefulness of the Internet in creating a natural resource management context that could dramatically change the way information is created and disseminated in the agricultural community. |
