    American farmland is becoming popular with overseas investors—and that’s making people nervous.http://ow.ly/1t3Z30eaO2a

        Think Irish Potato Famine. Tons of food was being exported to England while the Irish people starved. It could happen here.

        Irish Potato Famine... result of an English government policy.

        Absolutely! But the effect could be the same if farmland in the USA was used to produce food for other countries.

        Will these investors be stewards of the land? Doubt it.

        There are some cases in which centralized policy-setting would be wise. This is one of them!

        American farmland should never ever be sold to any foreign entities.

        Nothing will stop foreign owned farms to ship crops overseas, reduce food supplies domestically, resulting in sky high prices.

        This is Trump's idea of bringing jobs back from overseas.

        Fits in with the Trump red hat's goals. Sell off the country piece by piece so they can live well now. Sell off the planet for that matter.

        Hold up... it sounds like you don't want American workers replaced by foreigners.

        These are not foreign workers. They're foreign owners. Anyway Americans are too lazy to do foreign workers jobs.

        Not true. I'm an ironworker and work with a number of foreign workers, documented and undocumented.
