Nex-Tech announces its support for the reintroduction of the LAST ACRE Act, a significant piece of legislation aimed at enhancing precision agriculture connectivity and expanding high-speed Internet access across rural agricultural lands. This act, officially titled the “Linking Access to Spur Technology for Agriculture Connectivity in Rural Environments Act of 2025,” seeks to amend the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 to establish a comprehensive Last Acre Program.
The LAST ACRE Act is designed to advance precision agriculture connectivity nationwide and augment last-mile broadband deployment for agricultural producers by expanding high-speed internet access across the last acre. This initiative will provide essential support to agricultural producers, ensuring they have the necessary connectivity to manage, track, and reduce crop or livestock production inputs efficiently.
Jimmy Todd, CEO/General Manager of Nex-Tech, expressed his enthusiastic support for the legislation, stating, “We are thrilled to endorse the reintroduction of the LAST ACRE Act. This legislation is crucial for the future of precision agriculture and rural connectivity. At Nex-Tech, we are committed to supporting our agricultural communities by providing the technology and connectivity they need to thrive. The LAST ACRE Act will play a pivotal role in achieving this goal.”
The reintroduction of the LAST ACRE Act has garnered significant attention and support from various stakeholders. Nex-Tech’s endorsement of the LAST ACRE Act underscores the company’s dedication to advancing rural broadband infrastructure and supporting the agricultural sector. By providing high-speed internet access to unserved and underserved agricultural lands, the LAST ACRE Act will empower farmers and ranchers with the tools they need to enhance productivity, reduce waste, and maintain environmental quality.
