I don't know about you all but it seems a bit weird that Bill Gates of all people owns the highest acreage of farmland in the US.
The thought of a super-rich old white dude owning this much farmland is a bit concerning. He is up to something.
SourceIn total, Gates owns approximately 242,000 acres of farmland with assets totaling more than $690m. To put that into perspective, that’s nearly the size of Hong Kong and twice the acreage of the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, where I’m an enrolled member. A white man owns more farmland than my entire Native nation!
