 ENSURE OUR GROWERS HAVE ACCESS TO CUTTING-EDGE PRECISION AGRICULTURE 
                              TECHNOLOGIES

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, I rise to highlight the 
Promoting Precision Agriculture Act, legislation I introduced with the 
gentleman from Kansas, Tracey Mann.
  Agriculture is our top industry in North Carolina. The bill would 
establish a partnership between the Federal Government and the private 
sector to create voluntary interconnectivity standards and prioritize 
the cybersecurity needs for precision agriculture technologies.
  Precision agriculture includes robotics, sensors, monitors, and 
drones to help growers increase efficiency, potentially boosting crop 
yields while lowering costs for fuel, fertilizer, and other inputs.
  It helps our farmers to be successful, profitable, and productive. We 
must ensure our growers have access to the cutting-edge precision 
agriculture technologies and broadband services necessary to do what 
they do best, and that is feed, fuel, and clothe the American people.
