Following Fufeng uproar, bill would bar foreign governments from buying ag land in North Dakota

A Bismarck legislator introduced a bill to prevent foreign governments from purchasing and holding agricultural land in North Dakota. It’s the latest in the Fufeng saga. Fufeng announced its intentions to build a corn milling plan in Grand Forks in late 2021, and opposition quickly arrose out of national security concerns related to a Chinese-owned company owning land near the Grand Forks Air Force Base. The proposal remains in limbo. The Grand Forks Herald has the full story.
