Better Broadband helps with:
- Increased online marketing of products
- Better comparison shopping for inputs, machinery, and even credit
- The adoption of precision agriculture heavily depends on high-speed internet access
Precision ag can be grouped into 3 categories (all rely on good internet in one way or another)
1. Monitoring and sensing applications
- Yield and soil data
- Drone technology
2. Variable rate technology
- Auto-steer
- Increased accuracy and efficiency
3. Data management systems- Communication and transfer of collected data
