Bill Gates owns roughly 52,000 more acreages than the Offutt family, who sit at No. 2 on Land Report's list of families who own the most farmland in the U.S.
In total, Bill and Melinda Gates have acquired land in more than a dozen states. However, his largest land holdings are in Louisiana (69,071 acres), Arkansas (47,927 acres), Nebraska (20,588 acres), Arizona (25,750 acres) and Washington state (16,097).
My question is why?? WTF does he know that we don't....he doesn't strike me as someone who has always wanted to be a farmer and is living out a childhood dream.
Follow the money.
Something is up. I suppose if there is massive famine following a pandemic (that he had a hand in) you will do pretty okay when an ear of corn is 6 dollars.
Some ppl are just too fucking rich.
