The bipartisan Farm Bill has been moved to the House Floor, aiming to provide relief to local organic farms like Stoneledge Farm. Concerns over China's land purchases in the U.S. have led to calls for restrictions to safeguard national security. Lawmakers emphasize the importance of protecting domestic food supply and preventing foreign ownership of American farmland.
.@CongressmanGT and @RepJasonSmith are right: the 2024 Farm Bill, aptly named the Farm, Food, and National Security Act, is essential to support American farmers. Facing trade barriers and rising costs, our producers need our backing to remain the world’s top food exporter.…
Growing foreign ownership of U.S. farmland, particularly by China, poses a direct threat to our food security and national security. #FarmBill https://t.co/53CXoDs4BS

In addition to promoting new market access for American-grown products, the #FarmBill addresses a serious national security concern: our agriculture supply chain. Read more from Chairman @CongressmanGT and @WaysandMeansGOP Chairman @RepJasonSmith ⬇️ https://t.co/pGokOaBdIc

More than a year ago, my amendment to the Lower Energy Costs Act — which would ban China from buying American farmland suitable for homegrown energy production — passed the U.S. House of Representatives by a vote of 407 to 26. American farmland belongs to American farmers! #IA04

Thanks to the Henry County Farm Bureau for hosting us for a roundtable this morning! As the House considers the Farm Bill, I’ll continue to work to expand access to broadband, strengthen trade markets, and bolster crop insurance. https://t.co/6JKUzLnota
Communist China shouldn't be allowed to buy another acre of American farmland, nor should we rely upon our top foreign adversary for key parts of our food supply chain. Food security is national security! https://t.co/aduwyjP0SD

Farmers strengthen our national security by supporting our food supply chain. Yet they’re hampered with federal regulation. A Farm Bill that protects our domestic food supply, gets bureaucratic red tape out of the way, and doesn't grow government is the way to go. https://t.co/3BoslPn4LB

Enjoyed my time at the Stoneledge Farm in Leeds, a local source for fresh, organic produce. As a member on @HouseAgGOP, I’m glad to have recently moved our bipartisan Farm Bill to the House Floor. It’s a bill that will offer relief to local organic farms like Stoneledge. https://t.co/huG7z3XTWu
