Protecting America’s Agricultural Land from Foreign Harm Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill stops people and companies connected to the governments of Iran, North Korea, China, or Russia from buying or renting farmland in the United States. It applies to both government-owned farmland and private farmland. People who break this rule can face fines and criminal charges. The bill also prevents these foreign-connected people from joining most Department of Agriculture programs, though they can still participate in food safety and worker safety programs. People who already own or rent farmland before this law passes don't have to sell it, and the rules don't apply to U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents.
