"USDA has a lot of data that people should be very concerned about protecting for a lot of different reasons," said one current USDA employee who requested anonymity due to ongoing fear of retaliation. "Farmers' financial and production data should be protected at all costs, for privacy reasons and because of competition. If you got access to disaster payments, you would be able to layer a lot of data and arrive at a lot of valuable conclusions about productivity and U.S. farmland, futures markets, and commodity prices. You can hedge a lot of bets and make a lot of money if you know what's happening with U.S. agriculture."
