Feenstra Praises Trump Administration for Protecting American Farmland from Foreign Adversaries

HULL, IOWA — Today, U.S. Rep. Randy Feenstra (R-Hull) issued the following statement applauding the Trump administration for advancing its National Farm Security Action Plan, which includes Feenstra’s FARMLAND Act to keep foreign enemies away from American farmland.

“President Trump’s National Farm Security Action Plan defends rural Iowa from China and our foreign adversaries and ensures that Iowa farmland stays in the hands of Iowa farmers. It also includes my work to develop new oversight measures for foreign farmland purchases, require the Secretary of Agriculture to report threats of foreign acquisition of American farmland to Congress, and hold foreign investors who fail to properly disclose farmland purchases accountable,” said Rep. Feenstra. “Keeping foreign adversaries – like China – off our farm ground is an important matter of national and farm security. I’ll keep working to ensure our farmland is passed to the next generation so that we can keep our proud agricultural traditions alive in Iowa.”
