Senator Deb Fischer has reintroduced a bill that she says will help producers maximize the benefits of precision agriculture.
The bill packages three acts to include the Precise Act, which would ensure precision ag tech is eligible for assistance under existing USDA conservation programs. The Last Acre Act, which expands high-speed network connectivity across farm and ranch lands, and the PAL Act which provides dedicated loan financing for the purchase and retrofitting of precision ag technologies.
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...”
A SCOTUS ruling on Trump’s tariffs could have long-term implications on the authority of future administrations to control U.S. trade policy, according to RFD-TV legal expert Roger McEowen.
