Supporting Innovation in Agriculture Act of 2025
HR 1705 creates a new 30% federal tax credit for agricultural businesses investing in qualifying technology projects focused on specialty crop production. The credit applies to eligible equipment, software, and systems used in precision agriculture (like GPS-guided tools for efficient input use) or controlled environment agriculture (indoor farming systems with climate control and automation). Businesses can claim this credit for property placed in service after January 1, 2025, with projects needing completion by December 31, 2035. The bill specifically targets innovations that improve efficiency in growing, processing, or packaging specialty crops as defined in existing law.
