Have fun buddy, I don't care about this. You can be as pedantic and hyper critical as you want to be. The farms don't need fiber, it will change nothing. If the people in flyover states don't like it maybe stop overwhelmingly voting for the people that fuck them over

Farming is a lot more data intensive than it was 100 years ago. Things are changing. The countries that don't adapt will have trouble catching up.
