I’d like to see a graph of foreign ownership over time.

I remember reading alarming reports ~25 years ago that Russia was buying up a lot of American farmland.

I remember when Sony was buying up American real estate. Amidst all the Sturm und Drang, someone asked, "Can they take it back to Japan?"

I was in the agriculture business for nearly 40 years. I saw lots of money come into American agriculture and I also saw a lot of money disappear as well. Unless the farms are run by people who have a vested interest in the land, the entities that do not do leave the business and someone else buys it up pennies on the dollar.
