Webinars
Foreign Ownership of Ag Land: Legal Background and Update: Ownership of U.S. land, specifically agricultural lands, by foreign persons or entities has been an issue dating back to the origins of the United States. This webinar explored the past, present, and future of federal and state laws as well as legislative proposals relating to foreign ownership of agricultural land. Specifically, the webinar addressed federal and state reporting statutes as well as existing and proposed federal state laws that seek to restrict or prohibit foreign ownership and/or other legal interests in farmland. The webinar also addressed noteworthy judicial developments in this area, as well as a review of the level of foreign ownership/legal interests in agricultural land. National Agricultural Law Center Director Harrison Pittman was the speaker for this webinar.
