The Agricultural News & Rural Content Act
I am a member of the agricultural community, FFA, and 4H. Having the rural American and agriculture television programs is very important and I rely on them highly. I personally am lucky enough that my TV provider still offers RFD TV. Although many of my family members, friends, and community members are affected by this. They do not have the option available or they must pay extra for a channel or a whole package.
I am looking to see that these programs are not taken away and are more so included in TV packages throughout all providers. I am asking you to help protect rural programming by urging that the Agricultural News & Rural Content Act be attached to the Infrastructure Bill. I find the rural and agriculture news very informing and important. To my family, friends, and community we look to the channels to watch the weather and know about the important things going on in the agriculture community. To others and myself, it's not just a tv channel, I enjoy watching the rodeos and FFA conventions when I am not able to attend. Thank you for your consideration and I would be interested in speaking with you about this further. Thank you for your time.

Why is this important?
Hello, my name is Emily Jenkins I reside in Broadway VA. I am a member of the Broadway FFA and the Greenmont 4H where I am the president and I am very active in our local rural and agricultural events. I am writing about my concern for or rural and agriculture news (RFD TV).

To me, it's not just a tv channel, I enjoy watching the rodeos and FFA conventions when I am not able to attend. Many current providers do not carry or charge a premium for rural and agricultural news such as RFD TV. Please don't deprive the rural and agricultural community of this vital information source.
