New Agricultural Loan Program: Support for Farmers

This act introduces a new loan program for farmers to purchase modern equipment. The goal is to improve production efficiency, reduce resource consumption, and protect the environment. Farmers can receive up to $500,000 to acquire technologies that will enhance their operations.
Key points
Loans up to $500,000 are available for purchasing modern agricultural equipment, such as GPS systems, soil sensors, or data management software.
Loans are for farmers with a good credit history who can demonstrate repayment ability and will use funds for equipment purchase.
The maximum loan term is 12 years, with the purchased equipment or other acceptable forms serving as security.
The government will monitor the program, collecting data on farmers' age, experience, farm size, and how the equipment reduces resource use and benefits the environment.
