Farmland Security Act of 2025

This bill amends the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act to strengthen oversight of foreign ownership of U.S. farmland. It directly affects foreign-owned shell corporations (entities with no real operations) that fail to disclose land purchases, imposing fines equal to 100% of the land’s current value. Key mechanisms include requiring the Secretary to conduct annual audits of 10% of disclosure reports, provide training to local officials on missing reports, and mandate annual research on foreign agricultural leasing, land purchases by shell corps, and impacts on family farms. The bill also requires the Secretary to submit annual reports to Congress detailing findings on foreign ownership trends.
