Farmers could get better satellite access for precision agriculture as the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) would review its rules.
This bill would ask the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to look at its current rules for satellite services. The aim is to find ways to update these rules to better support precision agriculture, a method that helps farmers manage crops more effectively with technology. This could eventually lead to better satellite connections for farmers nationwide.
Today, the Federal Communications Commission's rules for satellite services may not fully support precision agriculture. If this bill becomes law, the FCC would be required to review these rules and suggest ways to change them to better promote precision agriculture. The FCC would then report its findings and recommendations to Congress within 15 months.
