Abstract:
In the years leading up to 1974, the College of Agricultural Sciences at Colorado State University became increasingly aware of the importance of the computer in agriculture. Some faculty were, of course, using the computer, but no centralized effort was being made to help faculty and students assess the challenge, the opportunities, and the implications of this new tool. That year, as a result of conversations between the Director of Resident Instruction in the College and the Director of the University Computer Center, the College made a formal commitment to computer-oriented agriculture.
