5. Farm prices?

He doesn't understand the basic principle, that China buying all this land raises the value of the land and thus the taxes. Farmers own thousands of acres of land, if that land's taxable value increases just a bit per acre it can bankrupt them. And farmers are constantly buying and selling parts of their land depending on their needs that year, when the prices are jacked up because of foreign purchases, it hampers that flexibility.

But he caved, because he's weak and a clown who was being humiliated and made fun of the last few days.
