Our friends at GigaOM direct our attention to an interesting read over at Daily Yonder. The article analyzes data from the recently released federal Census of Agriculture to determine which rural farmers have access to broadband — giving some insight into which rural areas still don’t have coverage. While the data is from 2007, it shows that 31.3% of farms in rural counties have broadband connections, a percentage that jumps to 40% for farm operators in urban counties. Overall, just 33% of farms in 2007 had access to broadband connections. That mirrors data from the Pew Internet and American Life Project, who recently found that 31% of rural Americans had broadband connection.
