Indiana appears poised to become the twenty-fifth state to restrict — or outright ban — ownership of Agricultural real estate by foreign entities. Many people — from both within and outside of Ag — have been calling for such legislation. Currently, twenty four states have similar laws on the books. Generally, the legislation is directed at entities from “adversarial” nations such as China. Why did it take this long for the alarm to sound? Why has our federal government not addressed this national security concern? In this episode of The Business of Agriculture Podcast with Damian Mason, Indiana farmer and state representative, Kendell Culp joins Damian Mason to discuss the details of legislation he introduced to the state house. If you’re concerned about American sovereignty as the pace of foreign infiltration quickens, listen to this.
