Dept. of Agriculture @USDA - Video: @SecRollins is launching the National Proving Grounds Network for AgTech — a bold new initiative that puts American farmers and ranchers FIRST!
Together with Chairman @SenJohnHoeven, @USDAScience Under Secretary Scott Hutchins, and our partners at @TheGrandFarm in North Dakota, we’re rigorously testing precision ag tools under real farming conditions.
This means cutting input costs, reducing risk, boosting productivity, and giving producers trusted data they can actually use.
Innovation + American farmers = the future of agriculture. Farmers come first!
