Bill > HR1697

This bill aims to enhance the participation of precision agriculture in the United States. It defines key terms like "precision agriculture," "precision agriculture equipment," and "advanced wireless communications technology." The bill requires the Secretary of Agriculture, in consultation with other federal agencies, to develop voluntary, consensus-based standards, guidelines, and best practices to promote the adoption of precision agriculture and address cybersecurity challenges. The bill also mandates the Government Accountability Office to periodically assess the effectiveness of these standards in encouraging the adoption of precision agriculture.
