On Tuesday morning, USDA announced a new National Farm Security Action plan.
Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins says that it includes a renewed focus on protecting American agriculture from foreign threats.
That includes the threat of U.S. farmland being acquired by countries like China.
States like Arkansas and Nebraska have already taken action on the issue. Arkansas Governor Sarah Sanders explained how her state is taking action against Chinese-owned Syngenta and other actions they are taking.
