Precision Agriculture Workforce Training and Development Act

This legislation aims to bolster the workforce in precision agriculture by designating its development as a high-priority research and extension initiative. It amends the Food, Agriculture, Conservation, and Trade Act of 1990 to enable the provision of grants for programs supporting student training and development in this specialized agricultural field.

These grants would facilitate partnerships between public or private entities to enhance participation in precision agriculture. Furthermore, the bill modifies the Competitive, Special, and Facilities Research Grant Act to allow grants to institutions that offer cooperative education programs, specifically for the purpose of improving precision agriculture workforce training and development.
