Reps Latta, Kelly Reintroduce Bill to Help Farmers Access Wireless Technologies

Reps Bob Latta (R-OH-5) and Robin Kelly (D-IL-2) reintroduced the Precision Agriculture Satellite Connectivity Act, which will help farmers across America more easily incorporate technology into their operations. Latta and Kelly previously introduced the bill in the 118th Congress, where it passed the U.S. House by a vote of 409-11 on April 26, 2023. The Precision Agriculture Satellite Connectivity Act would require the Federal Communications Commission to review its current satellite rules to determine if rule changes can be made to promote precision agriculture. This bill continues to build upon Latta's Precision Agriculture Connectivity Act, included in the Farm Bill and signed into law in 2018, which established the Precision Agriculture Task Force.
