Comanche County Farm Bureau member Cody Goodknight has been appointed to serve on the Federal Communication Commission’s Precision Ag Connectivity Task Force Working Group on mapping and analyzing connectivity on agricultural lands.
Goodknight, who farms and ranches in the Chattanooga area with his wife, Kara, is one of eight members of the working group and serves alongside telecommunications representatives, U.S. government employees and land-grant university leaders. Goodknight is the sole farmer member in his specific working group.
Members of the task force play an advisory role in directing FCC’s efforts to deploy and enhance broadband internet access to promote precision agriculture practices. The task force is comprised of four working groups focusing on areas of interest to promoting and deploying precision agriculture technologies. The task force was created from a provision in the 2018 farm bill.
