Information related to how easy it is to start using the SFTThis SFT replaces a tool or technology that is currently used. The SFT is better than thecurrent tool no opinion
The SFT can be used without making major changes to the existing system no opinionThe SFT does not require significant learning before the farmer can use it no opinionThe SFT can be used in other useful ways than intended by the inventor no opinionThe SFT has effects that can be directly observed by the farmer disagreeUsing the SFT requires a large time investment by farmer agreeThe SFT produces information that can be interpreted directly disagree
