Funds research and development programs to advance automation technology in agriculture.
The problem
Agricultural automation technology development lags behind other industries. Farmers need better tools to improve efficiency, reduce labor costs, and remain competitive globally.
The proposal
Creates federal funding and research programs to develop automated farming technologies, including robotics, sensors, and artificial intelligence systems for crop production.
The impact
Farmers, agricultural researchers, technology companies, and rural communities gain access to automation innovations. May affect farm labor demand and change how farming operates.
Automation technology can help farmers produce more food using fewer resources. This improves efficiency and helps U.S. agriculture compete internationally.
Federal funding supports agricultural research institutions and technology development companies. This generates jobs in rural areas and scientific fields.
Automated systems can apply water, fertilizer, and pesticides more precisely. This reduces waste and chemical runoff into soil and waterways.
Automation reduces physical labor demands on farmers. This allows older farmers to continue working and makes farming viable for new generations.
Automation decreases demand for agricultural workers. This may hurt rural economies and farm laborers who depend on this employment.
Small and mid-sized farms may struggle to afford new automated equipment. This could increase inequality between large and small farms.
Farmers need training to operate complex automated systems. Older farmers or those with limited technical skills may face challenges adapting.
The bill does not address workforce transition or support for displaced agricultural workers. Communities dependent on farm labor may suffer economic hardship.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
