Hot on the heels of a new USDA study ( PDF )* which revealed that only 64% of US farms have access to a computer (and only 59% have access to the internet) came the news that the panel we’ve proposed for next year’s South By Southwest ( SXSW ) Interactive festival is up for consideration and has entered the voting process.
