Creates privacy protections for agricultural data collected from farmers and farming operations.
The problem
Farmers' data about their operations, land, and practices is collected by technology companies and data brokers with few legal protections or limits on how it can be used.
The proposal
Establishes rules for collecting, using, and sharing agricultural data. Requires companies to get farmer permission before collecting data and limits how the data can be sold or shared without consent.
The impact
Farmers gain control over their operational data. Technology companies face new compliance requirements. Data brokers lose unrestricted access to agricultural information.
Farmers can control who collects their data and how it is used. This prevents companies from collecting sensitive information about farming practices, yields, or financial details without permission. Farmers maintain ownership of their business information.
Clear rules about data sharing prevent companies from selling farmer information to competitors or third parties without consent. This protects farmers from having their data used against their business interests.
Farmers can make better decisions about which technology services to use. Companies must be clear about data collection and use, allowing farmers to compare privacy protections.
Establishes requirements for companies to protect agricultural data from theft or breach. Creates accountability if data is mishandled or exposed.
Agricultural technology companies must build systems to track consent, manage data access, and ensure compliance. Small tech startups may face higher costs relative to their size, potentially reducing innovation in farm technology.
Restrictions on data sharing may limit researchers and public health officials from accessing information needed to improve agriculture. Weather prediction, disease tracking, and crop improvement research could be hindered.
Without an official bill summary, the specific requirements and definitions remain unclear. Different interpretations could create confusion about what companies must do and what farmers must approve.
It is unclear whether this bill covers all agricultural data types or only certain categories. The definition of 'agricultural data' and which companies must comply is not specified in available information.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
No donor data found for current cycle
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
