FENCE Act

This legislation, known as the Fencing Eligibility for New Conservation Equipment Act or FENCE Act, aims to modify the Agricultural Credit Act of 1978. Its primary purpose is to expand the scope of payments available under the existing emergency conservation system.

Specifically, the bill authorizes the use of these funds for the updating of fencing to incorporate new or emerging technologies. This provision allows for the repair or replacement of fencing with more advanced solutions. A crucial condition is that such technological updates must not increase the cost of the repair or replacement compared to traditional methods.
