American soil is being sold to the highest bidder—and it’s not our farmers who are winning. Right now, international shell companies and billionaire hedge funds are treating our farmland like a stock market play. They are outbidding the very veterans and young farmers who feed our nation, driving land prices up by over 13% in just the last year.

When a corporate entity buys our soil, local wealth is drained, our rural communities are hollowed out, and our national food security is compromised. A nation that does not own its land cannot secure its kitchen table.

Investor Siege: Foreign interests now hold an interest in nearly 46 million acres of U.S. agricultural land—an 85% increase in recent years.
The Financial Wall: Land prices have hit a record national average of $4,350+ per acre, with prime ground reaching over $16,000. Our young families can't compete with "all-cash" institutional offers.
National Security Risk: Over 30% of U.S. farmland is now owned by "non-operator" landlords. We are losing the "Home Team" advantage.

The Veterans and Young Farmers Alliance (VYFA) is demanding that Congress include the National Soil Sovereignty & ROFR Act in the 2026 Farm Bill. This legislation is a "Line in the Sand" that protects our future by:

The 30-Day Priority Window: Granting veterans and young farmers a 30-day "Right of First Refusal" to match any corporate or international offer on farmland.
Ending Anonymous Ownership: Stripping the masks off shell companies. No more anonymous LLCs—we must know who owns American soil.
The Land-Hoarder Penalty: Implementing a federal excise tax on non-producing corporate land to fund down-payment grants for real, local producers.
FSA "Blank Check" Pre-Approval: Arming our farmers with USDA pre-approval certificates so they can bid at auctions as fast as a hedge fund.

CALL TO ACTION!!! 

We are mobilizing a 50-state network of State Ambassadors to take this fight to every corner of the country. We aren't just asking for "help"—we are reclaiming our sovereignty.

Sign this petition to tell Congress: Our soil is not a stock. It is our security. Pass the National Soil Sovereignty & ROFR Act now!
