The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has launched a new online portal to streamline reporting of foreign ownership interests in U.S. agricultural land under the Agricultural Foreign Investment Disclosure Act of 1978 (AFIDA). The portal, announced on January 22, 2026, allows foreign persons, including individuals, businesses, and governments, to electronically submit required disclosures for agricultural land transactions using the federal Login.gov system. Additionally, the portal allows farmers, ranchers, and general members of the public to report possible under- or non-compliance with respect to AFIDA.
