The United States Department of Agriculture is providing $167 million in federal grants and loans for rural internet service providers. Earlier this month the ReConnectprogram awarded funding to 12 states, including Missouri and Oklahoma. However, many rural internet providers are facing equipment shortages because of supply chain issues.
