    Nearly two-thirds (62%) of U.S. farms now have Internet access, compared with 59% in 2009, according to a new report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture titled “Farm Computer Usage and Ownership.”

    DSL was the most common method of accessing the Internet, with 38% of U.S. farms using it–up from 36% in 2009. The next most popular Internet access method was wireless (20%), followed by satellite (15%), dial-up (12%) and cable modem (11%). The 2009 numbers for those services were 13%, 13%, 23% and 11%, respectively.
