A Computer for the Small Farm

The "desk top PC" (or "IBM PC") is in widespread and increasing use as a powerful tool for management on medium sized and larger farms (say 200-head or larger dairy farms) in the USA, in Canada and elsewhere -- where sufficient staff, office space, time and capital exist to make full use of the many farm programs available. Unfortunately, small-medium farms often find these same computers too costly, in money, time, etc., to be practical.

Consequently, the small farms need a computer that meets their special criteria, small, low cost, user specific, portable, durable, etc. These criteria can be realized in the handheld computer. Unfortunately, of the many businesses that sell "PCs", not many sell the handheld computer. But this is about to change drastically. Phenomenal growth is expected in handheld computers

(a COMPOUND growth of 42.2% in 1995-99).

This Aghand/Psion project has been prepared with agricultural colleges and universities under the aegis of a 1993 letter from the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, DC. Aghand was also technically validated at the New York State Department of Ag and Markets, Albany, New York with the admonition to "get this in the hands of the farmers".
