A precision agriculture roundtable was held at Northeast Community College in Norfolk Wednesday. Sen. Deb Fischer says individuals representing crops and livestock, equipment manufacturers, and technology companies talked about new ways precision ag is helping farmers, and about broadband needed to drive the technology….
Last year, Sen. Fischer introduced the Precision Ag Lending Act that would create a program within USDA to provide loan financing to farmers and ranchers interested in purchasing precision agriculture equipment. She hopes to include that in the next farm bill.
