## Summary

**This bill would expand federal review of foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land.** It would also increase public reporting and block federal assistance to certain foreign-held farms, and it would trigger special reviews for land near military bases. - Farmers and landowners: Federal aid, including subsidies, could be barred for agricultural real estate owned partly or wholly by persons from countries designated as nonmarket economies or identified as national security risks. This changes who can receive federal support for farm property. - Foreign investors from designated countries: Buyers and long-term lessees from those countries would face broader reviews by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States and must report leases longer than 5 years to USDA. Small-acreage exclusions for reporting would be removed. - State and national security officials: USDA must publish an annual, state- and county-level report on foreign-held agricultural land, with specific data on holdings by China, Russia, and other countries the Secretary selects, and CFIUS review would cover nonresidential property within 50 miles of military installations.
