Who Owns the Farm? Foreign Ownership Legislative Update
Topic:
In 2023, more than half of state have proposed one or more bills to restrict foreign ownership of land. As a result, ten states enacted a law that prohibits or limits certain foreign acquisitions in land located within their state. Further, there have been multiple bills introduced in the 118th Congress that seek to control or restrict certain foreign investments in U.S. farmland. This webinar will focus on the state foreign ownership laws enacted during the 2023 legislative session as well as the federal proposals that seek to increase oversight and restrict foreign acquisitions in U.S. land.
