TIPPECANOE COUNTY, Ind. – For Brent Bible, a soybean and corn farmer, spring planting season also involves building the infrastructure for a critical asset in rural farming.
Broadband access.
Available broadband service, said Bible, is as vital in his industry today as electricity was a century ago. We’ve seen over the past five to 10 years, said Bible, who farms acreage in Tippecanoe, Montgomery and Clinton counties, internet access has become less of a luxury and more of a necessity.
Bible, a Purdue University graduate, serves on the board of Tipmont & Wintek, recently awarded the state of Indiana’s largest rural broadband grant to date, $16 million, to further expand broadband across rural communities.
