摘要:The usefulness of several information sources is examined for U.S. farms with sales in excess of$100,000. The results indicate that crop/livestock-specific magazines and general farm magazines arethe most useful information sources. Analyses indicate that the types and number of differentcommodities that the farm produced, as well as Internet use, are the most consistent predictors ofattitudes toward various information sources. However, characteristics that explain attitudes towarddifferent information sources vary substantially across the information sources considered. . 2001Elsevier Science Inc.
