E59: The Future of Rural America's Infrastructure
Show Notes

Lawmakers here in the Nation’s capital seem to be coming close to an agreement on a vast infrastructure plan that includes funds to invest not only in roads, bridges, levees and dams throughout the country, but also in rural broadband and green energy. Farmers and rural communities are paying close attention to how these talks play out, and what the final package might mean for everything from market access to ethanol to the safety and livability of America’s small towns. This week, we’re joined by DTN editor and reporter Russ Quinn and DTN Staff reporter Todd Neeley to dig into where the infrastructure conversation has been, what the final package might look like, and what it could mean for rural life.
