Two Missouri lawmakers say an updated Foreign Ag Land Ownership bill can move through the state legislature before session ends.
State Senator Rusty Black from District 12 says a special committee, called the Senate Select Committee on the Protection of Missouri Assets from Foreign Adversaries, has agreed to use House Bill 903 as a template. This bill prevents non-U.S. citizens or foreign businesses from owning farmland in the state.
“It takes foreign ownership of ag land back to pre-2013,” he says.
