Anonymous Coward User ID: 83618397 Germany 06/10/2022 05:13 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Outside of Phoenix, in the scorching Arizona desert, sits a farm that Saudi Arabia’s largest dairy uses to make hay for cows back home. Quoting: pool That dairy company, named Almarai, bought the farm last year and has planted thousands of acres of groundwater-guzzling alfalfa to make that hay. Saudi Arabia can’t grow its own hay anymore because those crops drained its own ancient aquifer. Reporter Nathan Halverson tells NPR’s Renee Montagne that Almarai bought about 15 square miles in the Arizona desert. “They got about 15 water wells when they purchased the property. Now, each one of those wells can pump about 1.5 billion gallons of water. It’s an incredible amount of water they’re going to be drawing up from that aquifer underground,” Halverson says. The land in question had previously been under cultivation for corn, cotton and other crops, including smaller amounts of alfalfa for hay, he tells The Salt. Halverson’s sources told him that the farm is now consuming significantly more water, since alfalfa is a particularly thirsty crop. ...we see a sign for a company from United Arab Emirates, Al Dahra, and we realize that another company has come out here and essentially replicated the exact same thing. They are growing hay. They are using the groundwater. And they are shipping it overseas — in this case, we were told, to China. [link to www.mintpressnews.com (secure)] 7 years ago. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 83074266 United States 07/05/2022 03:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Should be illegal for foreign countries to own land in US. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77391584 We can't own land in UAE, Saudi, or many other countries, why should they be able to buy here? I agree with you 100%. Should be no ownership of US land by a foreign entity, whether its a person, company, or country. A long-term lease, perhaps up to 10+ years may be permissible with certain restrictions set on use (such as no export of resources like water, minerals, more) but no ownership. Also, we need to do away with dual citizenship. I personally know people that have had citizenship not just with the US but 2 other countries at the same time for a total of 3. That's just bullshit. You should only be permitted 1 country of citizenship. It doesn't mean you can't come hear for a stay, but citizenship is akin to country loyalty. |
