Conteúdo: 	In order to promote the usage of software among farmers, it is important to study the computer usage among them. This study investigates computer usage among U.S. hog producers. The objective is to determine whether differences in the choice of coordination mechanisms affects computer usage among U.S. hog producers. The study also investigates: (a) how hog producers process their information, (b) the activities for which computer or external assistance are used to process information, and (c) the factors which affect computer adoption. The data was obtained from a survey conducted by the author among 166 hog producers in 1996 (Miranda, 1997). The results indicate association between computer usage and choice of coordination mechanisms. However, the effect of other variables may be masking the results. Age, education level, size and number of sites are the main ones. The results are compared with the findings of ortmann et al (1992). Puttler and Ziberman (1988), Batte et al (1990), Lazarus and Smith (1988), Gunter and Turner (1993), Backer (1990), Fulton and King (1993), Harsh et al (1994), and Jarvis (1990).
