RMCG evaluated the economic benefits of internet and phone connectivity for grain farmers in Victoria’s Wimmera Mallee region in partnership with Birchip Cropping Group. Technological development means that connectivity is becoming increasingly important for grain farmers. Unfortunately, phone and internet service is poor for many farmers and some farmers are developing innovative work arounds to poor connectivity that involve on-farm infrastructure to relay signals. The project found that poor connectivity imposes significant costs on large-scale grain businesses. The report is available here: https://www.bcg.org.au/the-cost-of-digital-inequality-in-rural-areas/.
