Senator Deb Fischer has reintroduced her “Precision Ag Package,” including three bills that she hopes will help farmers buy more precise technologies. It would also help expand internet access.
Fischer says it is a win for everyone, saying more consistent service in rural America means more profitability.
“It’s extremely important. And when we can have that deployment of broadband across rural America, we’re going to see profitability increase because our farmers and ranchers are going to be able to use new technology, make wise decisions, continue to be great stewards of their land and their water, care for their livestock, and be able to tap into that precision ag technology that’s available to help them do that.”
Senator Fischer hopes to get some, if not all, of her priorities included in the reconciliation package.
According to a tweet from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, the full House vote on the Farm Bill will be held until lawmakers return from recess.
