How Trade-off between increasing crop yield and privacy protection

Advances in technology has improved the precision of seed, allowing farmers to use fewer loads of fertilizer and helping them saving an amount of money. But these applications of technology relies on the data from farmers. As a result, many farmers worried about these data will be misused by these service providers. Governments and some professional institutions should take actions or perfect regulations or legal terms to protect farmers' privacy. Cloud computing can be another alternative for farmers in terms of flexibility. But it will bring about the same privacy problem. And technological methods like artificial intelligence can be applied to the practice.
