According to data from the Department of Agriculture, China owns around 350,000 acres of farmland across 27 states as of last year. Lawmakers have argued that China’s farmland and housing buys are a national security risk with many of the purchases near military installations. House Republicans are taking action and have introduced the "Protecting Our Farms and Homes from China Act", which aims to codify oversight on foreign countries buying American farmland.

FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller of Illinois, member of the House Committee on Agriculture and a proud farmer herself, who agrees that China buying up U.S. farmland is an issue of national security.
