Foreign ag land ownership is getting attention at the federal level and legislation on it could be included in the next farm bill.
In a U.S. Senate Ag Committee hearing on Wednesday, Ranking Member John Boozman said lawmakers want to better understand the issue.
“This topic has been brought to the committee’s attention on numerous occasions,” said Boozman.
The concern is foreign countries might be purchasing U.S. farmland with an ulterior motive.
