Fry voted yes on House passage of H.R. 7567. This is a concrete legislative step, but it is not final enactment.

The summary adds AFIDA disclosure improvements, a foreign-land database, annual reporting on purchases by covered foreign persons, investigative actions, and Agriculture's role in CFIUS review.

The House Agriculture summary shows the bill would tighten reporting and enforcement on foreign agricultural land purchases and expand review of relevant transactions. That is partial progress toward the promise, not a full ban.

never unknown A for effort

The promised outcome was a federal end or ban on farmland purchases by China, Russia, and other foreign adversaries. Fry materially supported related legislation in the same Congress, including voting for House passage of H.R. 7567, and he also cosponsored related CFIUS/agricultural land review legislation. But the measures identified are not enacted federal law, and their core provisions focus on AFIDA reporting, databases, enforcement, and CFIUS review rather than a complete prohibition on foreign-adversary farmland purchases. That is a serious legislative effort, not fulfillment of the promised outcome.
