Foreign ownership of farmland at 30MM acres is about 2.2% of all farm land. Second, at least half of the US farm acres are with farms with economic sales of less than $500,000. Thus, I'm not ready to surrender what's in my family's best interest for some distant concern.

The article argues globalism and local, leaving the option of buying from American producers out of the equation. You can buy your Chinese fish if you like, I will continue to buy domestic whiting.

Also, nobody actually knows how much of our farmland is foreign held because shell companies obfuscate ownership details to the states, so there is little or no enforcement of existing foreign ownership laws.
