The newly released USDA Census of Agriculture shows Wisconsin farms are still struggling to get Internet access.
USDA statistician Greg Bussler says a higher percentage of farms had access to the Internet in 2022 compared to 2017. “In 2022, 79% of Wisconsin farms had Internet access with mobile Internet being the biggest way that farmers accessed the Internet.” Seventy-six percent of Wisconsin farms had Internet access in 2017.
But, Bussler says the actual number of Wisconsin farms with Internet access fell by 3,221.
