    Farm security is national security. Through this partnership, Palantir is empowering USDA with core capabilities that will enable it to secure American farmland, enhance supply chain resilience, and shield agricultural programs from fraud, abuse, and foreign adversary influence. In doing so, USDA will gain critical visibility into risks that can affect America’s agricultural production and food supply.

    I’m curious about what this’ll look like in practice.

    Because it sounds like the US federal government is about to make total surveillance a prerequisite for subsidies.

      I’m confident you’re correct. Also, as always, the surveillance isn’t for the reason they state; it’s just an excuse. They want to monitor all the people. They’ll be able to track when and where everyone goes in rural areas. Urban areas are mostly covered by Flock.
