Developing a technology center with Internet and distance learning available for all. I'm John Gage. Join me on Sun's Digital Journey, Technology in the Heartland. And that is a really poor picture of agriculture. Agriculture is highly technical and technology is bringing a lot of advances in agriculture that provides great opportunities and a lot of excitement.
Farmers here are as excited as the rest of the town about the new telecenter.
Right now I would say between 60 and 75 percent of what I want to call my full time farmer use home computers. Probably 15 percent have Internet access. And that number is increasing. Along with that we are also seeing an increase in global positioning systems where we can monitor the yield for various crops in specific points in the field throughout the field. And they record what we do out here.
