I am a fifth generation rancher currently managing a cow-calf operation in eastern Montana. I am also the director of government relations for the U.S. Cattlemen’s Association, USCA.
I would like to share with you how broadband is positively affecting the cattle industry and what more needs to be done to expand broadband to ranchers, farmers and other rural Americans.
Broadband technologies help ranchers access up-to-the minute information on important data, such as grain prices and the price of feeders and finished cattle, not to mention the weather. This information allows us make better decisions about our daily operations and helps optimize our success rate.

Does anyone know how I can tell if my slow broadband connection is down to my pc or my broadband provider (Tiscali)? I ran a speed test here http://www.broadband-expert.co.uk/broadband/speedtest/ and it tells me I have a download speed of 2.06Mbs and an upload speed of 243 Kbps. My laptop a dell Inspiron 8600, is about 3-4 years old some and I have Windows and is running Windows 2000.
Any or advice help would be greatly appreciated!
