Increased Financial Support for Farmers for Modern Precision Agriculture Technology.

This law facilitates farmers' access to loans and loan guarantees for purchasing modern precision agriculture technologies, such as GPS and sensors. These changes aim to lower production costs, increase efficiency, and improve environmental protection through precise resource management. Farmers may receive up to 90% of costs through environmental programs, significantly lowering the investment barrier.
Key points
New loans and loan guarantees are available to farmers specifically for purchasing precision technologies (e.g., GPS systems, soil sensors), lowering the barrier to entry for modern farming.
Farmers participating in environmental conservation programs (EQIP) can receive increased payments, covering up to 90% of the costs of implementing precision technologies.
It is now possible to combine grants from environmental programs (EQIP) with loans for the same practices, providing greater financial flexibility for farmers.
