英文文献作者：Mu'min, Ridgely A.,Evans, Sidney H.,Strickland-Horton, Sedalia
英文文献摘要：
The major objective of this research project is to quantify the benefits of microcomputer uses and applications for small-scale farmers. Major phases of the project include: 1) development of computerized decision aids for small-scale farmers; 2) training of farmers in the use of technology; and 3) measurement of the benefits through evaluating economic performance over time. The first phase of the research produced INTEG. INTEG is an integrated set of Multiplan templates that allows for 1) planning farm operations and financial activities; 2) records management in terms of monitoring actual vs. intended levels of financial activity; and 3) cost control through enterprise budgeting and production efficiency analysis. The INTEG system is being used in five counties to help farmers plan, monitor, and control their operations. After the first year, average net benefits to participating farmers were estimated at $1,500 to $1,800. The benefits were measured as the monetary value of reduced expenditures, different resource allocations and/or improved money management.
