<p>Penerapan ICT di bidang pertanian dapat meningkatkan layanan informasi bagi para petani karena dapat menyediakan informasi yang relevan dan tepat waktu. Namun, masih terdapat hambatan dan kegagalan dalam adopsi teknologi dikarenakan adanya perbedaan prefensi antara <em>developer </em>dan <em>user</em>. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan evaluasi ICT <em>literacy</em> petani agar <em>software</em> yang dikembangkan dapat dimanfaatkan secara optimal oleh petani. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengukur ICT <em>literacy</em> petani melalui evaluasi kuesioner berdasarkan <em>framework</em> ETS (<em>Educational Testing Service</em>). Ukuran sampel yang digunakan adalah 30 petani kedelai. Dari 30 responden, 73% petani telah menggunakan HP,13 %  komputer dan 7% internet. ICT <em>proficiency</em> petani dalam penggunaan HP, komputer dan internet adalah 59%, 21% dan 18%. Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa HP merupakan tool yang tepat untuk penerapan ICT dibidang pertanian. ICT yang dapat dikembangkan oleh <em>developer</em> untuk diterapkan langsung kepada petani sebagai <em>user</em> utamanya hanya berbasis SMS<em> Gateway</em>. Aplikasi berbasis <em>website</em> dan <em>mobile</em> belum dapat diimplementasikan langsung kepada para petani karena sebagian besar petani belum menggunakan <em>smartphone</em> dan penggunaan komputer serta internet masih cukup rendah.</p><p>Kata kunci: evaluasi ICT, ICT, ICT literacy, ICT petani, ICT proficiency</p>
