> Farms cannot be reasonably secured.

Correct, it is an inherently non-private location, and therefore not entitled to any "privacy".

Private property is illegal to put under surveillance, right? That's privacy.

No, wrong. Utterly wrong. "Private property" means "not owned by the public", not "hidden from view". Where do you get your ideas on the law? They have no resemblance to reality whatsoever.

Anyone can put under surveillance anything visible from anywhere they're allowed to be. Kids, cats, and cops alike, no permission, no warrants, nothing.
