Do we know how much U.S. agricultural land is foreign-owned? Experts say probably not

Foreign entities have bought 13 million more U.S. farm acres in 10 years, but agriculture policy scholars say the total could be far more.

We've also dug into farm subsidies, including billions of taxpayer dollars that critics say were spent with minimal accountability: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6TImYOpba6GaaM Like & Subscribe so you never miss an investigation!

You skipped Suadi Arabia buying farmland in Blythe CA; farmland we use precious water from the Colorado River to irrigate. one of the reasons Lake Meade and Lake Powell are drying up.

Why arent people finding out where the places are.....and going to destroy them? The places should be BURNED. Dont you think.

[@andynarain672]

And the Saudis are buying up land in Arizona for the same reason.

This has been going on for years & it’s high time more is done about this! I’m writing to my Congressman about this. We MUST have “food security” in this country.

No foreign person country or organization should be able to own property in America. It's common sense.

[@CarlosPerez-pl2jz]

Is not, american owne 800 military bases around the glove over 1m american live in Mexico for retirement 🤔 🙄

[@corrysmith]

@@CarlosPerez-pl2jz Is not china a communist regime that subjugates their populace under brutal totalitarian policies? Is it not Mexico's decision whether or not to allow foreigners to purchase land? Is it not illegal in Mexico to cross their borders without permission?

@@corrysmith u don't understand this how the world work today, ur phone that u send a message in youtube is made in China and ur clothes that u have in ur closet too. Everything is connected today even all the government around the world.

[@corrysmith]

@@CarlosPerez-pl2jz Yes Carlos I do understand that manufacturing takes place in other countries and that American companies own some of those factories but whether or not other countries allow Americans to own property is their own concern my concern is America and America shouldn't be allowing foreign entities to own property in America most especially property within a certain distance from military bases or other secure government facilities and other countries such as china and Mexico do not allow foreign entities such as America to own property within a certain distance of secure government facilities and neither should America. Educate yourself before responding please.

How much land does bill gates own now?

[@pablodesilvestro831]

[@nubianra6965]

Maybe it's a good thing Bill Gates is buying farmland, hes keeping the land in America's hands.

I am not able to find an exact percentage of farmland in the US that is internationally owned. However, it is a relatively small portion. According to the USDA, as of 2019, less than 1% of US farmland is foreign-owned. The largest foreign owners of US farmland are Canadian and Dutch companies.

[@lolachicki7709]

DONT SELL TO CHINESE!!!

[@starkeyfarmstead]

Should be illegal

Foreign companies shouldn't be allowed to own our farmland, food producing & processing companies,& distribution companies. America needs to invest in America! Politicians are you listening? Republicans stop voting down anything that brings progress.

[@noahriding5780]

If you don't know who owns it... you don't own or control it. Therefore = foreign owned. Also the idea of "Don't worry! The parts we own are only forests!" doesn't hold water because that's obviously a PR slogan to get you to go back to sleep and not pay attention. Also these companies a lot of them that hold the land are going to be shell companies that mask who really owns them. And in other countries the state controls companies more than our system does which has massive issues on fair play, and not fair play which include subsidization, and territory angles. ...

God Bless you Max 🙋🏻‍♀️Forever ,let the light of Jesus Shine trough you you spoke a lot of words that brought insight for youre people and country ,word of And Understanding ,a King of a big country like that with so much space and resources so people can live should always value the importance of Farming ,and I actualy believe that there is even more land outside these lands that the women talked about in the video that is missing ,and i talk about land that can be cultivated ,when the people turn To God Hé can even make a dessert firtile for example,i believe that some States in America were ones more firtile than before but because of sin some places became deserted ...," Desert " like for example i believe we are in the Time of Grace thinking about the woman whom others wanted to Stone and than Jesus wrote on the ground with His finger ( For Jesus is The Owner of all lands over the whole earth and Hé is concerned of what happens on the land ) than said " who is without sin may cast the first stone " There for example a state ...where innocent people are Being excecuted wich is Called in God His eyes the Shedding of Innocent Blood ,i believe we in these last Days should Judge People ...by what Jesus Demonstrated in that moment ,i am not saying that the state should stop people from arresting people that commit crime ...but the Problem with this execution thing is that innocent blood can be shed to and from what i understand from what is written is that a ground OR land can be affected by that ....what is my point i actualy believe that when People Humble themselves and turn To The Almighty IAM the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit the Comforter Hé can Restore the land again and some dry Places like in Utah and Texas and other States wil be returned firtile OR like a beautifull garden like i Saw in a Video Selah of a man in Texas who turned a waistland in to a beautifull envoirment ...( When i Saw that i got tears in my eyes ) .I Will be in Prayer and Fasting for that that all Kings of this earth Will learn and know that Our Father is Our Provider and when Hé Fears God and Keeps His Law Statues and Commandments the teachings of Jesus Hé Will give everything to take Care of its people and than in the abundance the King can trade and share Wisdom with other nations with the Knowledge Wisdom and Understanding and Revelation of Our Father in Heaven with Love and Honesty ,like Solomon did ...except for Following other gods.I Greet you with the Love of Jesus i have much respect for Farmers because the food we eat does not Just "pop "out in the supermarkets OR marketplaces itself , they work hard ,Farming always the second after catching water and digging waterwells that God wants us to do as mankind to live ( that is why the story of Jesus and the Woman by the well is also to remind us that Wells are so importend because that well stood there from the Time i believe Jacob digged IT ) next to Shelter and Cattle ....Ok Farmer Max 🧑‍🌾God Bless you greetings from a mini Farmer on my Balcony🥬 👩🏻‍🌾🌷🌺and i say that with full respect who does not respect the little things how can God Bless you with more 💪📜📖
