Sec. Rollin’s New Plan Looks To Crack Down And Safeguard Ag Land From Foreign Threats

Federal officials are out this morning with a new safety plan for U.S. agriculture.

Ag Secretary Brooke Rollins unveiled the agenda earlier today as part of her Make Agriculture Great Again Initiative.
Part of USDA’s new safety plan includes blocking purchases of U.S. farmland by foreign adversaries.

Secretary Rollins says that they are preparing to crack down, starting with foreign operations already in the U.S., like Syngenta and Smithfield Foods.
