Equipment manufacturers are rallying support of The Precise Act to expand the definition of conservation practices and allows producers to access conservational loans to finance new technologies.
Technology and conservation have always gone hand and hand. By expanding the definition of conservation practices in USDA programs, American farmers and ranchers will be able to leverage their technology investments in their conservation efforts.
Precision agriculture increases crop yields while lowering overall inputs and environmental impacts. The expansion of affordable precision agriculture technologies and applications have the potential to substantially increase crop yields, improve distribution, and reduce input costs, all while lowering emissions and preventing soil degradation.
I Make America and the Association of Equipment Manufacturers are watching intensely to see if these two pieces of important legislation will be incorporated into the Farm Bill.
