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.
