Bethany Coursen, left, and her 10-year-old son Noah Coursen, both of Spring Mills, make breakfast burritos for the family after working on the family’s dairy farm for two hours, Thursday, June 13, 2019, at the Valley Wide Farm in Spring Mills. After breakfast, Noah goes to basketball camp and the rest of the family, Bethany, husband Adam and son Alex, go back to work on the farm. The family's broadband access in their home is worse than at the barn, Ms. Coursen said. The family disconnected their telephone landlines some years ago in favor of the freedom that comes with cell phones, but reception can be affected by the season. “In the summer, once the leaves are on the trees, we’re limited to pretty much in front of the picture window, or a couple places outside," she said..
