The LAST ACRE Act of 2025 aims to enhance broadband connectivity for agricultural producers by establishing a competitive grant and loan program.
The LAST ACRE Act of 2025 amends the Rural Electrification Act of 1936 to create the Last Acre Program, which provides grants and loans to covered providers for high-speed internet access on agricultural land. The program prioritizes unserved and underserved land, especially in remote areas, and requires providers to offer speeds of at least 100 Mbps downstream and 20 Mbps upstream. The bill prohibits assistance for residences already serviceable or with enforceable commitments and mandates cybersecurity measures.
