Hobbs ends leases for water-guzzling alfalfa farms owned by Saudi Arabia https://www.tucsonsentinel.com/local/report/100423_fondomonte_leases_canceled/hobbs-ends-leases-water-guzzling-alfalfa-farms-owned-by-saudi-arabia/
Arizona Gov. Katie Hobbs terminated the lease of state trust land by a controversial Saudi Arabian company, and said the state would not renew the farm's leases next year. The deals have been controversial because of the large amounts of water used to grow alfalfa for export.

@TucsonSentinel awesome this #neoliberal hands off business super duper #freetrade with all authoritarian regimes has worked out so brilliantly why wouldn’t we want the #SaudiArabia government owning farmland and using excessive water in southwestern U.S. thereby having a massive leverage on state governments 🤷♂️
