U.S. Senator John Fetterman is calling for restrictions on foreign ownership of farmland within the United States.
At a hearing of the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry, Fetterman said that the 56,000 small farmers in Pennsylvania face enough challenges and shouldn’t need to compete with China and other foreign governments owning farmland.
“I mean, they are taking back our pandas. We should take back all of their farmland. This is really a national security issue, and it is a food security issue.”
Well, being a conservative I applaud Fetterman regarding this issue. In China it is unlawful for a foreign entity to purchase land or own a business. Why has the United States continued this practice? I believe it is because our government is corrupt from the top to bottom.
