I do not consent to being an uncredited data source. I do not consent to systems that profit from my information without transparency. I do not consent to black-box reports that move markets but ignore the actual ground truth. I do not consent to being ghosted when I ask basic questions about methodology, accuracy, or intent At some point this becomes silly. So, you would rather your name and yields and info all be publicly available and directly attached to the data? The entire point of the USDA system is that it's not profit driven. It's information driven. Just because your local conditions don't match reporting, doesn't mean that either one of them are wrong. In 2012 I personally put the last hundred acres of corn on one Semi. Minnesota had record yields and $8 corn. That doesn't mean that either one of our "truths" were wrong. USDA publishes it's methodology and practices. They've attempted to keep consistent practices for decades. That's what actually makes it useful. And they publish when they change. |
