There are lots of CSC(Common Services Center) centers now opening in India. One such example is the Nemmadi project in Karnataka http://nemmadi.karnataka.gov.in/. All these centers are in the village level. I believe in some 5 years time around 2 lack such centers will be started in India. May be such sites can be used by farmers from such telecenters. Connectivity , and network will be taken care of by the parties involved in setting up the center. Using computers can still be a challenge. May be the operator manning telecenter can help farmers in getting information from such web sites. Still have to see how farmers can start using forums.
