S 734 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Promoting Precision Agriculture Act of 2023

This bill directs the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop voluntary, industry-led standards for precision agriculture equipment within two years. These standards will focus on improving how farming technology connects and works together - addressing cybersecurity, connectivity needs, and the role of 5G/AI - to make adoption easier for farmers. The Government Accountability Office will then assess these standards annually for eight years, evaluating whether they encourage wider use of precision agriculture and were developed with industry input. The goal is to boost U.S. leadership in global standards-setting, helping farmers use resources like water, fertilizer, and fuel more efficiently.
