I had a great visit to Nanjing Agricultural University where I met some of my former students who are part of the MSU-NAU joint Institute. Today, more than ever, these U.S.-China partnerships are important for building mutual understanding and cooperation between our two nations.

David's astute testimony to the Senate seems calm, steady, quantitative, and non-panicky about Chinese ownership of U.S. agricultural land (which appears to be lower than the ownership of U.S. agricultural land by people from the Netherlands, Portugal, and Luxembourg).

It was a true honor to have been invited by Sen. Stabenow to testify as an expert witness on a US Senate Ag Cmte hearing on foreign ownership in US agriculture. You can find a copy of my written testimony and video recording of the hearing at this link: www.agriculture.senate.gov/hearings/for...

Over 200 vessels 🚢 are stranded on both sides of the Panama Canal as an unprecedented drought and low water levels have prevented crossings. The canal handles about 40% of US container traffic. #SupplyChains #ClimateCrisis
