Senator Deb Fischer has reintroduced a bill that she says will help producers maximize the benefits of precision agriculture.

Sen. Fischer explained the need for the bill, saying, “Precision agriculture equipment enables America’s farmers and ranchers to be stronger stewards of the land; however, high upfront costs and a lack of rural broadband connectivity create frustrating barriers to entry...”
