Microcomputers: Early Adopters and Extension: Joe, H. Doug
Where do farmers and ranchers in the "early-adopter" group get information about microcomputers? What uses do they think they'll make of a microcomputer? What are the implications of these answers to staff members who plan, implement, and evaluate farm management Extension programs? This Nebraska staff member has some suggestions.
Extension's Role in Drug Prevention Programs: Bachtel, Douglas C.
