National security, food supply at risk as foreign ownership of US farmland continues to grow

• https://www.naturalnews.com by Mary Villareal

"It's amazing to me that foreign countries own millions of acres of farmland in this country – and you're looking at China, Iran and Russia as some of our worst enemies," Hagmann said during the July 28 episode of "The Hagmann Report."

He noted that some are very close to sensitive locations.

For example, a wind farm in Texas owned by a Chinese businessman with close ties to the communist regime in China is near the Air Force's largest pilot training base.

The more than 130,000 acres of Texas ranch land was sold in 2018 to China-based Guanghui Energy Co. Sun Guangxin, the founder of Guanghui, is a former Chinese military officer and the richest person in the western Xinjiang region.

Of course, Xinjiang is home to internment camps where more than a million Uyghurs and other Muslim minorities are allegedly held without charge.

According to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) records, foreign land ownership has been reported in all 50 states and Puerto Rico. But foreign investors have their holdings concentrated in particular states, with the greatest shares in Texas, Maine and Alabama, as these states have no restrictions on foreign land ownership.
