Bill Eigel on Foreign Policy

 

 


The ONLY candidate who'll ban China owning Missouri land

Jay Ashcroft has become a vocal cheerleader for restricting foreign-owned farmland. Now, Ashcroft's opponents are using his past advocacy against him. A campaign ad titled "Cows" depicts a bovine forced to learn a new language "now that my farm is owned by China."

Bill Eigel says Jay Ashcroft hasn't gone far enough when it comes to countering foreign-owned land. But Ashcroft's campaign said Eigel, who is pushing for an all-out ban on foreign ag land ownership, actually voted for allowing foreign ownership in the past.

Ashcroft referred to 2023 legislation Eigel voted for that allows foreign governments to own farmland for "nonfarming" purposes.

Eigel has also filed his own legislation to ban all foreign-owned agricultural land. The measure would require "aliens and foreign businesses" to "divest interest in agricultural land in the state" by 2027. "Bill Eigel is the ONLY candidate for governor who wants to ban all foreign entities from owning Missouri land," says Eigel's spokesperson.
