Generally revise data privacy laws - Agricultural data

This bill requires businesses collecting agricultural data (like crop yields, soil metrics, or GPS farm equipment data) to disclose their data practices to farmers upfront and provide opt-out options for data sales or sharing. Farmers can also request deletion of their data. Businesses must submit summarized, aggregated farm data to Montana's Department of Agriculture weekly (paying a $25 fee) and make this data publicly available for download. The law directly affects farmers whose data is collected and ag-tech companies handling such data, aiming to increase transparency and control over commercial agricultural information.
