I used to ship/transport a lot of produce that originated from Gates owned farms. Mostly potatoes and onions. McDonald’s was a big end customer, that and wholesale/restaurant supply type outfits.

Why? Is it unusually profitable? Or is there some other reason for him to do this?

How does this compare to the land that Ted Turner owned?

For anyone wondering why the one acre in New Mexico, it’s apparently pretty mundane. Gates and the other founder of Microsoft lived there before the company was created and so he still has a property there

These maps make me laugh. Guess the party affiliation of the top 5 private land owners in the US.
Guess how many acres they own. Hint: More than 10 million acres compared with this gates 5g nanobot nonsense (which is all this type of image is used for, conspiracy theories and boogie men).

Now why would someone running a tech company even need farmland?

He is also a huge invested in plant based “fake” meat…

Louisiana and Arkansas make up nearly half the entire portfolio. He really went all in on that lower Mississippi region.

This isn’t even all of it. He also owns thousands of acres in North Dakota. I had to acquire some of their land for a flood control control project

King Ranch is 825,000 acres for reference. That is one ranch held by one family. This is very little land and the title is just wrong on so many levels.

Out of 440 million acres of farmland.

The reason is that he gets tax advantages. Farmland provides unique financial legal loopholes that significantly lower tax burdens for ultra-wealthy individuals.

That 1 acre in New Mexico worries me. I never seen the term acre used out side of acers. Kind of like everyone has nukes but you worry more about the single one.

For some reason, this reminds me of Dick from Supernatural. The extradimensional evil entity that possessed a billionaire and bought land to make human farms so they could eat them.

There should be a cap on how much land any person or business can own.

Gates is far from the largest farm land owner in the US even as a single individual. Stefan Soloviev owns and actively farms over 400,000 acres

Bizarre, I had no idea.
I bet the Mormon church is a close second.
