On this episode of Connected Nation, we talk with leadership at the USDA about the recently launched Rural Partners Network which promises to bring “the federal government [directly] to rural America.”
We find out how this approach will work, which remote areas will immediately benefit, and how other small towns across the US can take advantage of this new opportunity.
