Governor Parson&#8217;s order\u2062 addresses these concerns and aims\u200c to protect Missouri&#8217;s military and intelligence assets, ensuring the security of the state \u2064and providing peace of\u200d mind to its residents.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Similar measures have been enacted in other states like Arkansas and\u200c Florida, reflecting the widespread \u2063worry over China&#8217;s activities.\u2063 Currently, Chinese \u2064entities own approximately 42,596 acres of farmland in \u2064Missouri.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Governor Parson&#8217;s executive order \u200dexplicitly states that no Missouri agricultural land shall be acquired or owned by foreign \u2063entities from \u200ccountries designated as American\u200c adversaries. Existing landowners are not affected \u200dby this order. Any\u2063 foreign purchase\u2064 of land will require approval from the Missouri \u200dDepartment of \u2063Agriculture.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Missouri is home to several major military facilities, including Rosecrans Air National Guard \u2063Base,\u200c Whiteman Air\u2064 Force Base, and Fort\u200b Leonard\u2064 Wood. \u200bGovernor Parson emphasizes the \u2064importance \u200bof\u2062 maintaining strong business ties with countries like \u2064Sweden, Germany, and Japan, ensuring that Missouri remains open for business to its allies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Previously, foreign land ownership was largely banned in Missouri until\u2062 2013 when the Republican \u200blegislature overrode the\u2064 veto of then-Democratic Governor Jay Nixon. This allowed foreign ownership of up to 1% \u200cof Missouri farmland. Republican lawmakers in\u200c the state now support Governor Parson&#8217;s executive \u200dorder and may propose similar legislation in the \u200bupcoming session.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\">CLICK HERE TO GET\u200d THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The issue of foreign ownership of U.S. farmland \u2062has become a growing concern.

This has raised eyebrows among policymakers and \u2064military officials who have expressed concerns about potential espionage and threats to national security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Governor\u200c Parson&#8217;s \u2063order aims to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/when-it-comes-to-communist-chinas-grip-on-u-s-institutions-tiktok-is-only-the-beginning\/\" title=\"When It Comes To Communist China\u2019s Grip On U.S. Institutions, TikTok Is Only The Beginning\">prevent foreign adversaries<\/a> from gaining \u200baccess to critical military\u2064 infrastructure in the state.

By limiting the influence of\u2062 foreign\u200c entities in the agricultural sector near military facilities, the governor is safeguarding the state&#8217;s food production capabilities and mitigating the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/lawmakers-to-advance-tiktok-bill-us-house-speaker-says\/\" title=\"Lawmakers To Advance TikTok Bill, US House Speaker Says\">potential risks posed<\/a> by foreign control \u2064over essential resources.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, this executive order aligns with the federal government&#8217;s efforts to address national security concerns related to foreign\u200c ownership\u2062 of critical infrastructure. It\u200c serves as a proactive \u2063measure to prevent potential\u200b cyber threats and espionage activities that could compromise the state&#8217;s military capabilities and intelligence\u2062 networks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Governor \u200bParson&#8217;s action sends\u2062 a clear \u200cmessage that protecting\u2063 Missouri&#8217;s military assets is a\u200c top \u200dpriority for the state. \u200cIt demonstrates the governor&#8217;s commitment to ensuring the\u2062 safety and security of both military personnel and the surrounding communities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It\u2062 is\u200c important to note that this\u2063 executive order does not impede legitimate\u2062 investments or partnerships \u2064in Missouri&#8217;s agricultural sector.\u200c It specifically targets foreign entities from\u2063 countries designated as American adversaries, whose actions are perceived as potential \u200bthreats to national security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The governor&#8217;s decision to implement this executive order sets a precedent for other states\u200d to follow.
