HRES 451 United States House · 118th Congress

Recognizing the need for greater access to rural and agricultural media programming.

This resolution recognizes the need for improved access to rural and agricultural media programming, such as agricultural weather reports, market news, and western lifestyle content, which directly affects farmers, ranchers, and rural communities. It highlights that media consolidation has reduced availability of this programming, which informs the public about food supply chains, agricultural research, and rural life. The resolution urges media companies to prioritize delivering such content but does not create new laws, funding, or mandates. As a non-binding recognition, it has no direct policy impact on legislative or regulatory changes.
