The Weather Information for Agriculture Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 4373, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to improve the availability and accuracy of weather information for farmers and those involved in agriculture.

This includes funding for the development of new weather monitoring systems, such as advanced weather stations and satellite technology, as well as improvements to existing weather forecasting models. Overall, the Weather Information for Agriculture Act aims to support farmers and other stakeholders in the agriculture industry by providing them with the tools and information they need to make informed decisions about their operations. By improving the availability and accuracy of weather information, this bill has the potential to increase productivity, reduce risks, and ultimately support the long-term sustainability of the agriculture sector in the United States.
