Biden Administrator. Did “nothing” to get China to buy US farms

During the Monday broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends First,” National Black Farmers Association President John Boyd Jr. said President Joe Biden and Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack had not done enough to help American farmers and had not acted on China. buy US farmland.

Boyd said:[T]his administration did not prioritize farmers. Now they’re offering another $37 billion in aid to Ukraine and we haven’t taken care of American farmers here at home and the administration, as I said, isn’t doing enough to make sure that farmers get the help they need and the support they need from this administration. We have 16,000 members who are still waiting for debt relief and we are still looking for help for other countries. … Inflation is on the rise with no end in sight at the moment. And the president, the secretary of agriculture [aren’t] do enough to help American farmers right now. We have China buying American farms…and we haven’t done anything about it, and this administration has been completely silent on these issues.

He added, “There hasn’t been a meeting of this administration, and I’ve reached out to high-level officials, the Democratic leadership. They’re not keeping their word.” And “we’re facing agricultural foreclosures at a record high, farm input costs at an all time high…and the administration is doing nothing about it.
