We're working to strengthen transparency and accountability in agricultural land ownership with the Farmland Security Act of 2025, which seeks to remove caps on civil penalties for foreign-owned shell corporations that do not comply with disclosure requirements. This bill enhances oversight and ensures more effective monitoring of foreign investments in U.S. agricultural land, safeguarding family farms and the domestic food supply.
