Eigel Calls Parson’s Executive Order on Ag Land a ‘Nothingburger’

Not everyone likes Governor Mike Parson’s executive order to ban American adversaries from owning Missouri farmland within a 10-mile radius of military sites.
Bill Eigel, Republican candidate for governor, tells Brownfield Ag News that this is “too little, too late…”
Parson says he is taking a proactive stance against any potential threats in case state lawmakers don’t pass legislation this session.
His order does not affect existing landowners.
