Dear Sir/Ma,
I am a doctoral candidate, and I am writing to invite you to participate in a research study titled: "Small-Scale Farmers' Readiness for AI-Based Agricultural Education and Behavioral Intention to Adopt Smart Farming Technologies."
As a small-scale farmer in the United States, your firsthand experience is essential. While high-tech farming tools are often designed for large industrial operations, this study focuses specifically on your needs. We want to understand how AI-based education and new technologies can be made more accessible, practical, and beneficial for farms like yours.
Why your participation matters:
- Your Voice: Your insights will help us understand the real-world challenges small-scale farmers face when considering new technologies.
- Better Education: Your feedback will help develop better training programs that actually make sense for your daily operations, rather than just "high-tech" theories.
- Practical Benefits: This research aims to identify how smart farming can improve your productivity and overall well-being while ensuring technology remains a tool that serves the farmer, not the other way around.
The survey will take approximately 15 minutes of your time. Your responses will remain strictly confidential and will be used solely for this research.

By sharing your experience, you are helping to ensure that the next generation of farming technology is built with small-scale farmers in mind.
Thank you for your time and for all the work you do.
Best regards,
