How you all going to like it, when foreigners are buying up the land?
Renting it to huge operations and hunting goes bye, bye?
Rural farm land will be a open air factory to be used for one thing. Producing crops and paying rent. Habitat will be a thing of the past.

"One of the largest farmland sales in state history is fueling new speculation over a proposal in Gov. Scott Walker's budget to make it legal for foreign entities to buy large tracts of land in Wisconsin. Current state law limits foreign ownership, with some exceptions, to 640 acres but Walker wants to waive those rules and end the acreage cap.
Last November, UBS AgriVest, a unit of the Swiss banking giant UBS. paid $67.5 million or nearly $7,000 per acre for about 9,800 acres in southwest Wisconsin."
Why fire a shot to take this country, when they can just buy it??????
