Social media users are sharing online a screenshot of an alleged Fox News article about President Joe Biden’s new agricultural policy. The image has been digitally altered to include the caption: ‘Bid admin to seize farm equipment,’ cooked food ‘under new agricultural licensing policy’
Examples can be seen here and here.
One description of one post here reads: “DO NOT make it a political struggle, but can someone explain it to me ?! He is tired of farmers accumulating crops ?! What does it even mean? And how is that even going to happen ?! * just to be clear, I do not care which side of the fence you are on, I’m just looking for an answer to this? ‘
The caption on the screenshot reads: “Biden admin to seize farm equipment, ‘stored food’ in terms of the new agricultural licensing policy”. This is followed by: “The future of agriculture is an extreme concern”.
A search for the title of the article on the Fox News website returns no results and the article is not listed under the author’s work that appears in the screenshot here.
Fox News confirmed to Reuters in an email that the image in the claim was an edited screenshot of a Fox News page.

VERDICT
Untrue. The screenshot was processed to include a fictitious heading and text; it does not show a true Fox News article.
