Quoted from Sandman33:LOL. I can't believe a couple people actually downvoted my original post. Just saying that when Bill Gates is the largest owner of US farmland....but is NOT farming it....and the US govt continues to pay farmers NOT to farm....meanwhile the next bullshit war rages on overseas that is stopping food production globally...we all may have issues soon.
Not trying to be a downer, just stating some facts that people might not be aware of.
Just to be clear, there is a rumor / conspiracy theory that Bill Gates owns "most" or the "majority" of farmland (for nefarious purposes). He actually owns about 1% of US farmland (a lot to be sure, but a long way from "most").
If you combined all the farmland he owns into a single "plot" it would be the size of about 1/4th of Rhode Island.
