Terms of Use
By using plainfarmdata.com, you agree to these terms.
Informational Purpose Only
PlainFarmData provides USDA agricultural data for informational purposes only. This site is not affiliated with USDA or any government agency. For official program eligibility, payment calculations, or enrollment, contact your local USDA Farm Service Agency office.
Data Accuracy
We present data as-reported by USDA ERS. While we strive for accuracy, we make no warranties about completeness or fitness for any particular purpose. Always verify critical data with official USDA sources.
Permitted Use
You may use this site for personal, educational, journalistic, or research purposes. Do not scrape or systematically download data in bulk.
Disclaimer
This service is provided "as is" without warranty. We are not liable for decisions made based on data from this site.
Data Accuracy and Verification
PlainFarmData aggregates and reformats information that originates from public government agencies, regulatory filings, and other openly available sources. While we take reasonable steps to ingest, normalize, and refresh this data, upstream records may contain clerical errors, lag behind real-world changes, or omit relevant context. You are solely responsible for verifying any fact that influences a legal, medical, financial, educational, safety, or similarly consequential decision. Cross-reference the official source before acting on anything you read here.
Acceptable Use
You may browse, read, and share PlainFarmData content for personal, journalistic, academic, and non-commercial research use. You may cite specific records with attribution and a link back to the page on plainfarmdata.com. You may not (a) systematically scrape, crawl, or download the dataset in bulk without prior written permission; (b) resell, sublicense, or redistribute derived data products that compete with PlainFarmData; (c) use our pages to harass, defame, or misrepresent any individual or organization appearing in the data; (d) remove, obscure, or mislabel source attribution; or (e) attempt to bypass rate limits, security controls, or authentication mechanisms.
Editorial Process
PlainFarmData combines raw public data with plain-language summaries, explainers, and comparisons. Narrative sections are drafted by our editorial team from source data and reviewed before publication. We do not alter underlying numbers or filings — those are loaded directly from the upstream source. If you spot a summary that misreads the data, please email the correction link on our contact page.
Intellectual Property
The underlying public records surfaced on PlainFarmData are in the public domain or otherwise freely licensed by the issuing agency — you are free to use those raw facts. However, our site design, layout, navigation structure, original editorial copy, category taxonomies, comparison tables, and curated rankings are the copyrighted work of Kiznis Studio. These creative elements may not be reproduced in whole or substantial part without permission.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms of Use from time to time to reflect changes in our data sources, product features, legal environment, or advertising relationships. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date above and — when appropriate — surface a brief notice on the homepage. Continued use of the site after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised terms. We encourage you to revisit this page periodically.
Governing Law and Disputes
These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and the jurisdiction in which Kiznis Studio is domiciled, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute arising from or relating to your use of PlainFarmData will first be addressed through good-faith informal negotiation. If that fails, both parties agree to resolve the dispute in the courts with jurisdiction over Kiznis Studio's principal place of business. Nothing in these terms limits your statutory consumer-protection rights under applicable local law.
Legal Notices
For formal legal notices, DMCA takedown requests, subpoenas, law-enforcement requests, or correspondence regarding these terms, email legal@plainfarmdata.com. General questions, data corrections, and feedback should use the contact page so they reach the editorial team promptly.
