Abstract:

The collection and manipulation of data to provide relevant information has become extremely important to decision makers in agriculture. The amount of data has proliferated and calculations have become more complex, causing increased reliance on electronic data processing systems. Rapid development of computer technology has now literally placed the power of the computer in the hands of decision makers. Instead of working through computer specialists, operating managers find themselves able to call forth information directly from computers in order to make rapid decisions.

 

Keywords:
