?? Who Really Owns America’s Farmland? A National Security & Wealth Preservation Imperative Foreign ownership of U.S. agricultural land has surged in recent years, raising critical concerns over national security, food sovereignty, and long-term resource control. According to the USDA’s latest #AFIDA report, foreign investors owned 45.85 million acres of U.S. farmland in 2023—a 12.2% increase since 2021. While much of the public debate has focused on China, the reality is that the largest foreign stakeholders in American farmland are Canada (15.35 million acres), the Netherlands, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Germany. ?? Why does this matter? National Security Risks: The purchase of land near military bases and critical infrastructure by foreign entities has raised alarms in Washington. In response, the Trump Administration has issued new investment policies strengthening restrictions on foreign acquisitions in strategic areas. #FoodSovereignty at Stake: With ownership comes control. Foreign investors influence food production, pricing, and supply chain resilience—all vital to America’s long-term stability. Wealth Transfer Opportunity: The largest generational wealth transfer in history is unfolding. Private investors now have a rare chance to secure tangible, inflation-resistant wealth by safeguarding America’s farmland, timberland, and conservation assets. ?? At Green River Mountain, we believe keeping U.S. land in trusted hands is more than just an investment—it’s a responsibility. As policymakers debate restrictions, private investors have the power to act now and ensure these critical assets remain controlled by those with a vested interest in America’s prosperity. ?? Follow us to learn more about how alternative investments in farmland and real assets can protect and preserve America’s future. ?? What’s your take? Should there be tighter restrictions on foreign land ownership, or is the market working as it should?

The $20 Billion Question: Is Green Energy Built on a House of Cards? For years, Green River Mountain has watched the explosion of government-backed green energy investments with skepticism. Grand promises, taxpayer-funded climate initiatives, and markets built on subsidies rather than sound economics. Now, the cracks are showing. The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s abrupt cancellation of $20 billion in green energy contracts raises questions about the sector’s long-term viability. In Europe, a minor technical error on June 26 caused Germany’s electricity prices to skyrocket from €100 to €2,000 per megawatt-hour—a stark reminder that the “green transition” often relies on fragile infrastructure and external dependencies. The ACE rule that replaced the Clean Power Plan achieved only a 0.7% emissions reduction, yet some states actually saw higher emissions due to inefficiencies. The problem? Energy policy has been driven by politics, not performance. The Clean Power Plan (#CPP) promoted generation shifting—moving power production to lower-emission sources—because it actually worked. The ACE rule, in contrast, abandoned this effective approach in favor of plant-specific efficiency tweaks that barely moved the needle. Worse, the EPA’s legal strategy in defending ACE was so weak that courts could strike it down entirely, leaving the sector in limbo. So, what does this mean for investors? At Green River Mountain, we’ve always been skeptical of investments built on subsidies, #CarbonCredits, and #ESG greenwashing rather than real economic fundamentals. But we’re not against impact investing. Quite the opposite. We believe in private capital leading the charge—funding sustainable, resilient energy solutions that don’t rely on regulatory guesswork. Regulatory uncertainty reinforces the need for market-driven clean energy solutions: ? Decentralized energy & microgrids—reducing reliance on an unstable grid. ??? Infrastructure-backed investments—future-proofing against policy shifts. ?? Profitable sustainability—green investments that actually work, without the crutch of government handouts. If 80% of Germans no longer believe in their country’s energy transition, what does that tell us? The shift away from fossil fuels is inevitable—but how we do it matters. Smart investors aren’t chasing trends. They’re building for long-term security.
