Kristi Noem cautions that the ‘enemy is within’ American landowners

The Urgent Call to Protect⁤ American Agricultural Land

Governor Kristi ‌Noem of South Dakota⁤ is leading the charge in safeguarding the nation’s agricultural⁤ assets. In a recent appearance on Sunday Morning Futures, she passionately advocated for⁣ a nation-wide ⁣ban⁣ on‍ foreign entities purchasing land for agricultural ‍purposes, echoing the legislation ⁣she successfully enacted in her home state.

“The country that controls our‍ food supply, they control ‍us,”

“China ⁢would never allow Americans to come over and buy their land… Why would we ever allow them to come to America and own land⁤ that ⁤they will use to control us? We have our enemy among ​us.”

America Must‌ Act Now

Noem pointed out the critical need for stricter ⁣regulations, emphasizing ‍the importance of governors taking a more proactive‌ role in monitoring and enforcing land ownership laws. She highlighted the⁤ potential risks posed by foreign ‍ownership, calling for increased reporting requirements to curb malicious activities aimed ⁢at securing control over vital American resources.

• South⁣ Dakota’s newest ban targets buyers ⁤from ‍China, Iran, ‍Cuba, Russia, Venezuela, and North Korea.
• Foreign landowners from other countries have a three-year deadline to comply with the new regulations.

With over 42.3⁤ million acres of farmland in South Dakota alone, accounting for 87.2% of ⁢the state’s total land area, the issue of land ownership and control takes on national significance. Noem’s efforts to protect these valuable resources underscore ​the importance of securing America’s agricultural independence.

As discussions on foreign land ownership continue at the federal level, Governor Noem’s unwavering commitment ⁤to this cause serves as a⁢ rallying cry ‌for states across the ‍nation to follow suit and safeguard their agricultural heritage.
