Broadband access in rural areas remains problematic, according to the latest Purdue University/CME Group Ag Economy Barometer.
Purdue’s Jim Mintert says producers were asked to describe the quality of their farm’s internet access.
“Just three out of ten people in the survey said that they had high quality internet access; roughly four out of 10 said they had moderate quality; 12 percent said they didn’t have internet access at all; and 16 percent said they had poor quality,” he says.
