Creates the Agricultural Data Ownership and Market Competition Act
HB 3409 establishes that Missouri agricultural producers own data generated from their fields, livestock, and equipment, regardless of whether they operate the land directly or lease it. It requires companies collecting farm data (like equipment manufacturers or platforms) to clearly disclose what data is gathered, obtain written consent for use, and provide producers with their data in digital formats upon request. Producers also gain the right to demand data deletion and receive fair compensation for data transactions. The law prohibits companies from using hidden terms (like standard "clickwrap" agreements) to override these ownership rights without explicit, written consent.
