HEADLINE: “Zach Nunn Reverses Course On Opposition Of China Buying U.S. Farmland.” [Heartland Signal, 5/23/25]

May 2025: Nunn “Voted Down An Amendment” To Help The Department Of Agriculture “Track Foreign Investments In U.S. Farmland.” “U.S. Rep. Zach Nunn (R-IA) has previously claimed to oppose foreign investments in U.S. farmland. But he recently voted down an amendment to help the Department of Agriculture track these investments. […] Despite his positions, Nunn did not support an amendment to bolster the Department of Agriculture’s ability to track foreign investments in U.S. farmland. This amendment was proposed by Rep. Josh Riley (D-NY), Nunn’s colleague on the House Committee on Agriculture. It would have added a provision to President Donald Trump’s ‘Big Beautiful Bill’ to direct $35 million to an online portal that tracks farmland investments under the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act (AFIDA).” [Heartland Signal, 5/23/25]
