Some info the FSA offices have on you is "public information" and can be accessed by anyone. Years back, seed and fertilizer companies used to send rep's around based on lists they obtained at the FSA office of active farmers (that the FSA had info on). Lists had name, address, and maybe even phone numbers. Exactly what info the public can currently access on a person through the FSA today, I'm not sure. I'm also not sure if someone has to pay to access this info or if it's free.
I believe many farm publications access some "public information" from FSA/USDA/state environmental agencies/checkoff programs. They then call you and ask you to fill out cards with info so they can cater their articles, propaganda, and advertising toward you and others with the promise of a free magazine.
One BTO got names and addresses for landlords and farmers that had more than 50 or so acres in one chunk or had about 150+ acres total within 25 or so miles of their base of operations in our area from somewhere a few years back to send them letters trying to get ground to farm. Some info surely came from the FSA office.
Today, if someone has just your name, an address, phone number(s), and some business/farm info can easily be found on the internet.
