Abstract
Information Technologies are fundamental for decision-taking in agriculture and livestock activities. Farm activity has several factors which make it differ from other economic activities and the rural producers must control, organize and plan their production for more profits. The use of information technologies for administration and management has enormous possibilities. Current analysis assesses the importance of information technologies on farms in the municipality of Getúlio Vargas RS Brazil. Current exploratory and quantitative study comprises a survey of data retrieved from questionnaires applied to 83 farms in the municipality. Information technologies may be employed as tools for the administration and management of farms since they favor an efficient control of agricultural and livestock activities, coupled to databases for future decisions. Size increase of farms causes a decrease in the number of producers who do not use information technologies. The main motive for their non-usage is lack of information. Small farms already employ information technology even in greater number than that by medium and large farms. Even though fewer, the most important factor is that growth has been stimulated.
