Device usage on English farms by farm type 2019

In October of 2019, 94 percent of farm holdings that grew crops other than cereals and responded to a survey of English farm holdings, stated that they used a computer or laptop device. The results of the survey show that a specific type of farms is behind other farm types in the adoption of device usage. Responding grazing livestock farms, whether lowland or less favorable areas are used for the grazing, can be seen to be behind in all forms of device usage.
