We Are Taking American Farmland Back, No Longer Selling to Foreign Adversaries

We are taking our American farmland back. President Trump views US farmland as national security and we are taking ours back from foreign adversaries.

Brooke Rollins made the announcement

“American agriculture is not just about feeding our families, but about protecting our nation and standing up to foreign adversaries who are buying our farmland, stealing our research and creating dangerous vulnerabilities in the very systems that sustain us, restoring and near shoring our food and agriculture supply chain is essential for our nation’s security.

“In coordination with the White House, the Departments of Treasury, Defense, Homeland Security and Justice, as well as state governors, state agriculture commissioners, local tribal and territorial governments, today, we announced the USDA National Farm Security Action Plan.

“This plan includes seven key action items…very quickly and perhaps the most important, the first of the seven is securing and protecting American farmland ownership, actively engaging at every level of government to take swift legislative and executive action to ban the purchase of American farmland by Chinese nationals and other foreign adversaries.

“Standing on the shoulders of great governors, three of whom are standing behind me, who have already been leading the way on this issue and at the federal government level, working to do everything within our ability, including presidential authorities, to claw back what has already been purchased by China and other foreign adversaries.

“Additionally, working with the Secretary of the Treasury, along with our defense department on memorandums to ensure that moving forward. There is a much more attention…[to]  who is buying what in this country…”

 A Comprehensive Action Plan for Agriculture Security

The National Farm Security Action Plan takes aggressive action across seven critical areas.

1. Secure and Protect American Farmland – Address U.S. foreign farmland ownership from adversaries head on. Total transparency. Tougher penalties.
2. Enhance Agricultural Supply Chain Resilience – Refocus domestic investment into key manufacturing sectors and identify non-adversarial partners to work with when domestic production is not available. Plan for contingencies.
3. Protect U.S. Nutrition Safety Net from Fraud and Foreign Exploitation – Billions have been stolen by foreign crime rings. That ends now.
4. Defend Agricultural Research and Innovation – No more sweetheart deals or secret pacts with hostile nations. American ideas stay in America.
5. Put America First in Every USDA Program – From farm loans to food safety, every program will reflect the America First agenda.
6. Safeguard Plant and Animal Health – Crack down on bio-threats before they ever reach our soil.
7. Protect Critical Infrastructure – Farms, food, and supply chains are national security assets—and will be treated as such.
