Foreign investment in the U.S. is not a new concept. Recent investments by Chinese corporations and government, though, have brought a new awareness and raised concerns regarding security ramifications. Recent attempts by the Chinese to purchase ag land near military bases has put the issue of state ownership restrictions in the news. This webinar will examine foreign investment in the U.S. and Nebraska. Nebraska and federal legislation dealing with foreign ownership of agricultural land, and with limiting foreign investments in the U.S. that could threaten national security, will also be discussed.
