AAW Policy Bites: Rural Infrastructure & Broadband:

Rural Post Office Access & Mail Service:

In rural America, the local post office is more than just a place to buy stamps—it's a vital link in the food and supply chain. AAW supports maintaining full postal service in rural areas to ensure dependable delivery of agricultural documents, products, and communications.

📌 Our Position: AAW opposes closing or reducing service at rural post offices. We advocate for maintaining full operations, fair rates, and timely delivery in agricultural communities that depend on mail for essential business and communication.

📬 Why It Matters: Rural mail service supports everything from shipping livestock records to receiving parts, checks, and contracts. Without it, farms face delays and disruptions that hurt productivity and rural commerce.
