CRP for foreign owned land must stop.
You nailed it.
EC
“CRP for foreign owned land must stop.”
I agree with you but to do that all subsidies would have to stop but there is so much of it the numbers are astronomical. And it is far more than just agricultural. It’s serious business or the locals and a foot in the door to foreign interests like China.
Federal subsidies and grants for programs, including healthcare, social services, and education, amount to over $1 trillion annually, representing roughly 18-20% of total federal spending. Federal agricultural subsidies alone exceed $30 billion annually.
As long as foreign interests can purchase land and do some farming in the country it is going to continue. And to make matters worse, it is part of our foreign diplomacy.
