Tom will make sure not a single acre of our farmland falls into the hands of Communist China.
Prevent Wisconsin farmland from falling into the hands of Communist China.
Occurrences
Lastly, it blocks foreign adversaries and state sponsors of terrorism from buying up American farmland. This is just common sense, and we should all agree that Communist China should never own U.S. farmland.
Evidence
Rep. Tom Tiffany's office records that he voted yes on H.R. 7567, the Farm, Food, and National Security Act. The page says the bill passed and that it addresses, among other things, foreign investments in U.S. agricultural land.
GovInfo shows Tiffany as a cosponsor of H.R. 4706, introduced to prohibit the acquisition and ownership of agricultural land and residential real property by certain foreign entities, including China-focused restrictions in the bill title and text.
Assessments
Tiffany took meaningful legislative steps in the current term toward the stated goal, including cosponsoring H.R. 4706 to block foreign, including China-linked, ownership of agricultural land and voting for H.R. 7567, a House-passed farm bill that addresses foreign investment in U.S. agricultural land. But the evidence does not show the promised outcome was fully achieved in practice for Wisconsin farmland, so this is partial credit rather than full delivery.
