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

This bill would stop people or organizations tied to the governments of Iran, North Korea, China, or Russia from buying or renting farmland in the United States, whether that land is publicly or privately owned. Anyone who breaks this rule could face both civil and criminal penalties, but people who already own or rent farmland when the bill becomes law would not be forced to sell it. The bill would also block people connected to those governments from taking part in most Department of Agriculture programs, with some exceptions for things like food safety and worker health. U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents would not be affected by these restrictions, and the bill would require additional reporting on foreign-held farmland interests.
