Precision agriculture companies seek to leverage technology to process greater volumes of data, greater varieties of data, and at a velocity unfathomable to most. The promises of boundless benefits are coupled with risks associated with data ownership, stewardship and privacy. This paper presents some risks related to the management of farm data, in general, as well as those unique to operating in the international arena.  Examples of U.S. and international laws related to data protection also are provided.  Finally, best practices in drafting agreements that can assist in managing risks relevant to those companies that presently operate or plan to expand their business to areas outside the United States are examined.
