PRECISE Act of 2025
This bill, the PRECISE Act of 2025, increases financial incentives for farmers and ranchers to adopt precision agriculture technologies through existing USDA conservation programs. It defines "precision agriculture" as managing crop or livestock inputs (like fertilizer or water) with high spatial and temporal detail to improve efficiency, and "precision agriculture technology" as tools including GPS systems, soil sensors, and data software. Key provisions allow up to 90% cost coverage for adopting these technologies under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) and add precision agriculture to eligibility for supplemental payments in the Conservation Stewardship Program. The bill directly affects agricultural producers participating in USDA conservation programs by expanding their access to funding for technology that aims to reduce input waste and support environmental quality.
