What this bill would do

This bill, known as the ``Satellite-Based Agricultural Data Act'', aims to change how the Department of Agriculture allocates funds. It proposes to include commercial weather services as a priority area for funding under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative. This change would be made by amending the Competitive, Special, and Facilities Research Grant Act. The goal is to integrate data and tools from commercial weather services into agricultural research and mitigation efforts.
