About
Dr. Lynn Pitman is a leading researcher in agricultural digitalization, with a focus on understanding and bridging the technology divide in rural farming communities. Her work critically examines the adoption, barriers, and practical deployment of digital technologies—such as internet access and precision agriculture tools—among crop, dairy, and livestock producers. Her most influential study, “Assessment of digital technology adoption and access barriers among crop, dairy and livestock producers in Wisconsin” (2019), has garnered 126 citations, establishing a foundational benchmark for research on rural connectivity and digital equity in agriculture. This comprehensive survey of over 3,000 Wisconsin producers revealed stark disparities in digital capacity and access, informing policy and extension efforts aimed at supporting producers in an increasingly data-driven industry. Dr. Pitman’s contributions are vital for understanding how technological infrastructure shapes modern farming, and her work continues to guide stakeholders in developing targeted interventions to ensure that all producers can benefit from digital innovation. Her research remains a key resource for students and scholars examining the intersection of technology, agriculture, and rural development.
