On Thursday, September 19th, a broadband event was held at the Arkansas State Capitol to celebrate the milestone achieved by the Electric Cooperatives fiber providers. Electric Cooperatives across Arkansas have delivered high-speed broadband access to over 1 million Arkansans.

AVECC member and rancher Jimmy Moore accompanied AVECC to attend the event.

Moore Cattle Company is a family-owned, third-generation, commercial Angus cattle operation located north of Charleston, Arkansas. The operation produces high-quality beef for the Certified Angus Beef ® brand. Mr. Moore shared how crucial Wave Rural Connect has been in keeping his ranch competitive, especially as the cattle industry increasingly depends on advanced technology.
