Noem Warns of China's Increasing U.S. Farmland Purchases

South Dakota Governor Advocates for Congressional Bill to Prevent Foreign Land Acquisition

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem warns that the U.S. needs to take 'aggressive action' against China's increasing purchases of American farmland, particularly near strategic Air Force bases.
Noem supports a Congressional bill that would prevent China and other countries from buying U.S. farmland, which she hopes will be included in the National Defense Authorization Act.
Noem states that China's land acquisitions, along with control of U.S. mineral and prescription supplies, could put the U.S. 'under the control of the CCP'.
The Senate has already voted in favor of the bill with a 91-7 vote, but the House of Representatives has yet to vote.
China's purchases of American agricultural land have increased by 5,300% over the past decade, according to Noem.
