In many of my posts regarding Sonar's and our ISP client's efforts to bridge the digital divide, you've read about the many benefits of how bringing high-speed internet to homes and communities for the first time will offer better educational, employment, and telehealth opportunities for ALL. However, in my previous posts I've never mentioned farming. That changed when I heard Land O' Lakes SVP and CTO, Teddy Bekele, speak at this year's Fiber Connect show in Nashville. Here's just some of what he shared during his chat with Fiber Broadband Association President and CEO, Gary Bolton during the event. “Most people don’t know how advanced agriculture is at the moment,” said Teddy Bekele. “It’s still one of the least digitized industries and we still have a long way to go to catch up, but there has been no shortage of innovation in agriculture. Back in the 1920s, 1930s, 30% to 35% of Americans were directly involved in farming. Today, it’s less than 1%, yet we have substantially more people in North America and around the world. That is less than 1% responsible for feeding animals, feeding humans, and generating fuel while finding ways to farm in a very environmentally sustainable way." ”High-speed broadband is an enabling technology for productivity today and a revolutionary one for the future as farms and the businesses that support them continually introduce innovations for increased productivity, efficiency, and environmental stewardship. We need fiber!” said Bekele. The process begins with collecting relevant data. "We analyze this data to develop models and recommendations that help our member owners make smarter decisions. However, for farmers to utilize these insights, internet connectivity is essential.” I urge you to read the attached article in its entirety to learn more, but here are three more key takeaways that stood out to me in how having access to data provided via high-speed internet can make farms more productive and environmentally better... First - High-speed internet helps farmers leave their soil in a better condition than when they started farming Second - It advises them on the most relevant and sustainable practices to employ such as cover cropping and tilling methods to preserve more minerals in the ground and ensure the soil is healthier with less water runoff Third - It improves a farm's carbon footprint that can lead to compensation in the form of carbon credits So kudos to all of the ISPs who are bringing high-speed broadband to farms, homes, and communities who've never experienced it before. While some of us live in areas where we already have access to high-speed internet and don't think that their efforts impact us, we need to think again. Rural ISPs are impacting all of our lives in very positive ways, and all of us at Sonar are proud to support over 500 of them. #broadband #digitaldivide #farming
