FENCE Act
The FENCE Act allows farmers and ranchers receiving emergency conservation funding to use new or emerging fencing technologies when repairing or replacing existing fences. This provision applies specifically to the emergency conservation program established under the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978. The key requirement is that adopting these modern technologies must not increase the overall cost of the repair or replacement project. By including this option, the bill aims to help landowners upgrade their infrastructure without additional financial burden during emergency conservation efforts.
