PG 44 THE RURAL VOICE, SEPTEMBER WHAT'S Computer software Harris Technical Systems, Inc., an affiliate of Harris Laboratories, has introduced 18 different AgDisk microcomputer software programs for agricultural operations. Each AgDisk program is designed to provide farmers and ranchers with information they need to make critical management decisions. Pro- ducers can examine hundreds of dif- ferent management alternatives by changing inputs and creating "what if" situations. AgDisk software is available through selected Apple, IBM and Texas Instruments dealers including many Valcom, ComputerLand and Team Electronics stores. Programs designed to run on Radio Shack, Commodore, Zenith, Osborne and DEC Rainbow 100 microcomputers will be available later this year. Each program comes complete with a comprehensive operating manual. Costs range from $75 to $700 depending upon the size and complexity of the program.
