Bill Gates is the one supposedly buying this land? Or is this a separate purchase?

If the Feds cared about feeding the population they could simply nationalize those foreign owned farmlands, and anything else not in production.

What kind of country lets foreign adversaries buy up their farmland, and implant millions of “immigrants” all across their nation?

Open borders and globalism will be the ultimate destroyer of America. All so liberals and even ‘conservatives’ can virtue signal about how non-racist they are.

Guess the price was finally high enough for the owners to sell. Gates or Chi-Nuh, what can you do?

It does make me wonder what China’s rules are for allowing foreign entities to purchase property in the PRC.

Yep. This should not be allowed. Nothing the Chinese do is accidental. Every step is carefully planned and calculated. With the Chinese there is no such thing as a coincidence.

And have government run ‘national farms’?
Like ‘collective farms’ in the PRC & the old USSR?
As I remember those didn’t turn out so well!

Agree but what do you actually mean by ‘nationalizing the farms’?

Wow, China and Gates buying up land everywhere and in one State at the same time. The thoughts I have are horrendous about this.

I guess we have no National Security dos and don’ts anymore since we are now Liberal World Odor.

"Open borders and globalism will be the ultimate destroyer of America."

Putin must have felt pretty much the same way about his country.. He didn't seem all that thrilled when Hillary showed up with her "reset button"...

Gov't takes title from foreign ownership and sells to proven farmers under minimum productivity conditions.

But don't worry, the gov't doesn't want more food or more people.
