Three Foreign Ag Land Ownership Bills Could Be Voted Out of the Missouri Senate Agriculture Committee This Week

(MISSOURINET) – The Missouri Senate Agriculture Committee is expected to vote this week on three foreign ag land ownership bills. One is sponsored by Vice-Chairman Rusty Black, which would completely ban any foreign ag land ownership after August 28. He says this should not affect agricultural research, including the creation of livestock products in the animal health corridor of the state.

Black, a Republican, is a farmer from northwest Missouri’s Livingston County.
