Precision Agriculture Loan Act of 2025

This proposal would let farmers use USDA conservation loans and loan guarantees to buy and use precision agriculture tools. That includes both adopting new practices and purchasing technologies that help place seed, water, fertilizer, and pesticides more accurately. The goal is to help farms save money, protect soil and water, and boost yields. The plan also tells USDA to make the program easier to use for precision ag—by delegating work to the Farm Service Agency and speeding up approvals with the Natural Resources Conservation Service .

Farmers who plan to adopt precision ag, including to take part in the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP), would be a priority for these loans. USDA would also aim for geographic balance so benefits reach farms in different parts of the country .

• Who is affected: Farmers and ranchers seeking conservation loans or guarantees
• What changes: Precision ag practices and technologies become eligible uses; priority for borrowers adopting precision ag, including for EQIP; USDA streamlines and delegates program administration to speed access
• When: Takes effect if enacted into law; the text focuses on adding these uses and priorities to the existing program
