On June 17, 2019, the Federal Communications Commission announced the formation of a new federal advisory committee, the Task Force for Reviewing the Connectivity and Technology Needs of Precision Agriculture in the United States. Now the FCC seeks nominations for membership on four working groups for the Precision Ag Connectivity Task Force: (1) Mapping and Analyzing Connectivity on Agricultural Lands, (2) Examining Current and Future Connectivity Demand for Precision Agriculture, (3) Encouraging Adoption of Precision Agriculture and Availability of High-Quality Jobs on Connected Farms, and (4) Accelerating Broadband Deployment on Unserved Agricultural Lands.

These working groups will assist the Task Force in performing its duties pursuant to the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018. Nominations for membership on these four working groups should be submitted to the FCC no later than December 3, 2019.
