Not even ironically, this all smells of insurers wanting sufficient data to raise rates on different types of farmers and breeders. It might be scandalous if they didn’t collect the data and then were biased against, say, chicken farmers. But if they do collect the data, they can say they analyzed it, whether or not they did, to support any kind of tactic they desired.
