South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has expressed alarm over the growing ownership of U.S. agricultural land by Chinese entities, saying that China could be planning to “buy up our entire food supply chain.”

During a March 20 House hearing about “the danger China poses to American agriculture,” Ms. Noem said that she has witnessed China buying up U.S. fertilizer companies, food processing systems, and now U.S. farmland.
