Thank you to Rep. Neguse for joining this effort to modernize our ag economy and better train the next generation of farmers and ranchers nationwide.” The Precision Ag Workforce Development Act will add “Precision Agriculture Workforce Development” to the USDA’s high priority research areas. Additionally, the bill provides special consideration for institutions that offer cooperative education programs under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI). | 1 | 2026-06-04T06:38:12Z | 2026-06-04T06:39:44Z |
