As Arizona continues to deal with a water crisis, there's mounting controversy over foreign-owned companies buying up farmland in parts of La Paz County to grow crops for export.

As Arizona continues to deal with a water crisis, there's mounting controversy over some foreign-owned companies having unlimited access to groundwater in parts of Arizona. The water is reportedly used to grow crops for export. FOX 10's John Hook reports.

"What that does is it hopefully makes some of these companies realize that there is no economic sense for them to do this," said Rep. Gallego.
