CRS has a paper on the issue of foreign ownership of agricultural land in preparation for the upcoming farm bill. Two items of note--about half the acreage included in FSA's AFIDA data is forest land (apparently a lot of which is in Maine) and China doesn't show up in the discussion of the owners of the most land.
They mention possible problems in FSA's data, including a request to GAO to look at it. I am sure there are problems.
