Thank you, @SenatorRicketts , for introducing the Agricultural Data Privacy Act. "This legislation provides clarity and puts common-sense protections in place to ensure farmers maintain ownership and control of their data,” said NeCGA President Michael Dibbern.
Agriculture is a knowledge business. Farmers and ranchers are the experts. As that information moves online, farmers and ranchers should be able to choose how they share their expertise.
That’s why I introduced the Agricultural Data Privacy Act. My bill would protect this hard-earned intellectual property. It would require producers’ approval before any company uses their data. That means this data can’t be sold or used without farmers’ and ranchers’ consent.
This is a Nebraska Solution Ready for America. It’s modeled after a new Nebraska law—the first of its kind in the nation. This law is now being introduced in states like Iowa, Colorado, and Missouri. It’s time to make it the national standard.

In a study released today from NCGA and @ASA_Soybeans the American farmers' voice is heard. The new survey of 1,200 farmers shows profitability is still uncertain, reflecting the compounding effect of multiple years hardship at the farm gate. Fertilizer-fueled costs and inputs remain a top concern for farmers across the country. Read more at bit.ly/3V5y6YI

Today’s progress in the Senate Agriculture Committee to advance the Farm Bill is an important step forward for Nebraska farmers. As challenges continue across agriculture, a strong farm safety net remains critical. Our advocates in D.C. were excited to see this momentum.
Thank you, @DepSecVaden, for continuing to investigate the fertilizer industry and inviting growers to bring forward more evidence on this important issue!
Last week in Iowa, I was clear that antitrust laws are to be enforced in this country and that farmers should depend on the price quoted being a result of competition and not collusion. I was honored to join the "Fed Up" hearing, and stand ready to continue engaging to ensure free and fair markets for fertilizer and other critical inputs.
If you have information about anticompetitive practices in the fertilizer market, please visit ⬇️ website for information on how you can report that evidence.

Next week, Jason Lewis is stepping away from his farm and business to be a voice for the farmers who can’t. There are important issues on the table, like year-round E15, that need the perspective of farmers.
Corn has innovative uses across the bioeconomy. This week members of the Research & New Uses Action Team represented America’s corn growers at the BioInnovations North America Conference, discussing sustainability, profitability, and innovation.
