AgNet Weekly: Senator Cramer on Foreign Ownership of U.S. Ag Land

How much of our U.S. ag land should belong to our adversaries?  About three percent of agricultural land in the United States is owned by foreign entities. But U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer, a Republican from North Dakota, says even that may be too much. He’s a cosponsor of the Foreign Adversary Risk Management (FARM) Act. Senator Cramer joins host Sabrina Halvorson on the phone this week to talk about the issue, and why he’s paying close attention to it.

Each week we highlight essential legislative and policy conversations affecting agriculture nationwide. Host Sabrina Halvorson is a 30-year media veteran known nationally for her award-winning, balanced, and accurate reporting. For more than 10 years, she has specialized in agriculture news focused on political issues. While most agriculture news podcasts focus primarily on Midwest crops, we uniquely understand specialty crops, their regions, and their related industries. AgNet Weekly also traverses the legislative issues of the livestock industry and other matters related to California and Southeast agriculture.
