With the huge advances in technology and it's ability to store data, positioning and when in use, has the time now come for the Agricultural Industry to take control of it's own information.
Whether it is grain or vegetable yields, dairy production, fuel consumption, weight or herd numbers, scanning results etc most of our information is now being transferred on-line and in some cases into the hands of a third party, in many cases unknown by us.
Data has a value and can of course influence markets, and market prices, both inputs or outputs.
Has the time come to license our data, who owns it, who controls it and the information it provides ?
