The Supporting Innovation in Agriculture Act of 2025 creates a new 30 percent tax credit for farmers and agricultural businesses that invest in innovative farming technologies. The credit applies to equipment and systems used in precision agriculture (such as GPS mapping, sensors, and automated weed control) and controlled environment agriculture (such as indoor farming with climate control and automated harvesting systems), but only when these technologies are used to grow specialty crops like fruits and vegetables. The credit covers the full cost basis of qualified property placed in service, including hardware, software, and infrastructure needed to deploy these technologies. Farmers can also elect to receive the credit as a direct payment from the government rather than only claiming it against their taxes. The incentive runs through December 31, 2035, and applies to projects where construction began after January 1, 2025, making it available immediately to encourage adoption of advanced farming technologies that increase efficiency and reduce resource waste.
