Gov. Kristi Noem (R-SD), author of Not My First Rodeo: Lessons from the Heartland, warned of China’s procurement of U.S.-based food production assets on Friday’s edition of the Breitbart News Daily podcast with host Alex Marlow.
Noem described foreign acquisitions of U.S. food production infrastructure and arable land as a threat to national security.
“I have been talking about food security as a national security issue for about 15 years, now, being involved in farming and ranching,” she remarked. “I was very young when I started working on federal policy, because the United States has always embraced a policy where we believed it was important to grow our own food in this country, and I’m a strong believer that when another country controls our food supply, that’s when they truly control us.”
She continued, “If we think a pandemic was scary, wait until we realize that we can’t put food on the grocery store shelves because China controls the entire system, and what most of America hasn’t been paying attention to, is that China — for years — has been buying up our chemical companies, our fertilizer companies, our processing systems, and now they’re buying land, and we have foreign countries that are heavily invested in that entire supply system.”
“We are losing control of the ability to feed our people,” she warned, “and that’s what is challenging us today. We finally are waking up to that, but it is going to be a serious situation that this administration needs to recognize they have a huge role in, and all they’ve done is strengthen our enemies and given them more ability to control our food supply which makes us in a very precarious situation as a country.”

It’s called selling them the rope with which they will hang us.
I’m sure he is, and I’m sure he is getting very large kickback for doing so.
National Security for sale open to all bidders Xi starts 5 year plan #2.
Could all those food processing plant fires be part of a protection racket run by the CCP?
Surely our Republican leaders in DC know about this. If I know about it then they have to know about it.
And surely they are doing something about it!
I have no respect for the Rino from Nodak, but she is right.
This is a matter of National Security. If we have not figured this out by now we are either irredeemably stupid, or hopelessly corrupt.
Exactly, this is all part of his plan to enrich his enablers in China. He’s selling us out. Everything that man does is traitorous and he needs to be held accountable.
Brandon will sell them whatever they want- they own him.
😉Yeah, sure they are./sarc
A Noem thread with no pics? Shameful.
They sure are.
"Where's mine??"
he doesn’t give a rip. he gets his 10% and likely won’t know his name in less than a year.
The Cabal is doing it...(O, valjar, rice, etc)....the Pervert is just their puppet.
Kristi Noem is from South Dakota, which already prohibits foreign ownership of farmland, as do a number of farm states. Prohibiting foreign ownership of other types of assets is not a big step.
The regime is part of the elites and do not care American sovereignty. This is why there are open borders, etc. They are not hiding anything.
Question” Does the Constitution support passing a law preventing, or limiting, foreign ownership of US land??
Worry not—after the Revolution we will Nationalize all the Chinese businesses like they did to American companies when Mao’s Boys took over in China.
Gee…. Welcome to the party.
Not much happens by accident.
Check the actuary tables, insurance claims, and rate adjustments.

Many states have such laws. Do you know of any successful challenges in the SC of laws prohibiting foreign ownership of US assets?
There are many EOs authorizing Treasury Dept to seize foreign assets in the US. Any court challenges to those?
