It adds new payments for precision farming technology. It sets up a feral swine control program with $150 million over seven years.

Farmers and farm operations get expanded federal payments and help when disasters hit. Specialty crop growers and orchardists benefit from new aid. Land-grant universities may get contracts for feral swine work.
One thing to notice
Precision farming payments may help big farms more than small farms. Big farms can buy the technology more easily. The bill lets the Secretary decide what counts as a disaster. The bill lets the Secretary decide how much to pay. Few rules in the law limit these choices.
