Federal maps show R. Clay Jackson’s beef cattle farm in rural Madison County, Virginia, is awash in broadband a designation that likely rules it out of President Joe Biden’s push to connect all Americans to fast internet service.
“The assessment is incorrect,” Jackson, owner of Senterfitt Farms and chairman of the Madison County Board of Supervisors, said in an interview. Local broadband is, in fact, sparse. “It puts us at a massive disadvantage as it pertains to applying.”
