Nebraska farmer says some intervention in foreign ag land purchases might be warranted

A South-Central Nebraska farmer says foreign investments of farmland and ag companies pose a significant threat to the US food supply chain.

Randy Uhrmacher tells Brownfield he may support federal or state regulations that limit those transactions. ā€œIā€™m not one to really appreciate rules and regulations, but when it comes to food security and national security, I may have to change my tune on that slightly.ā€

He says it adds unnecessary competition for producers looking to buy or rent farmland.
