Idea: Co-Op program

Farmers join a local Co-Op, say "Iowa's Data Co-Op". The Data Co-Op then sells to the highest bidder, then after a small management fee returns dividends to the participating farmers.

The Data Co-Op partners with equipment integrators to build data collection devices and data transformations.

Local farmer groups are already a thing, where farmers get together to share research, look at properties with trials running on them etc. [1]

The question your have to answer before trying to sell any of this "info", is who, other than the farmers themselves is going to find it valuable enough to buy?
