§ 71124 Producer Data Confidentiality

Key Takeaways

  • •Private info about farmers (like names and addresses) is kept secret by the government.
  • •Only a court can make them share this private info after a proper hearing.
  • •General info (like total crop sales) can be shared, but not details about individual farmers.

Example

A reporter asks the government for a list of all farmers in the area and how much each one earns.

The government can't give out the list because it includes private details about each farmer. But they can share the total amount of money all farmers made together, without naming anyone.
