Summary

The bill declares that landowners, livestock owners and the owners or lessees of farm equipment retain ownership of any data generated by their operations. It forces data collectors to disclose what data they gather, obtain written consent, and let owners access, export or delete their data on fair, non‑discriminatory terms. The goal is to give producers more control and transparency over the growing amount of digital farm information.
