The Microsoft billionaire has been quietly building a 242,000-acre portfolio of agricultural land across 18 states.

, has built up a massive farmland portfolio spanning 18 states. His largest holdings are in Louisiana , Arkansas and Nebraska . Additionally, he has a stake in 25,750 acres of transitional land on the west side of Phoenix, Arizona, which is being developed as a new suburb.’s research, the land is held directly and through third-party entities by Cascade Investments, Gates’ personal investment vehicle.

While it may be surprising that a tech billionaire would also be the biggest farmland owner in the country, this is not Gates’ only foray into agriculture. In 2008, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced $306 million in grants to promote high-yield, sustainable agriculture among smallholder farmers in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The foundation has further invested in the development and proliferation of “” resistant to climate change and higher-yield dairy cows.

It is not entirely clear how Gates’ farmland is being used, or whether any of the land is being set aside for conservation. However, there is some indication that the land could be used in a way that aligns with the foundation’s values. Cottonwood Ag Management, a subsidiary of Cascade, is a member of Leading Harvest, a nonprofit that promotes sustainable agriculture standards that prioritize protections of crops, soil and water resources.

American farmers need to form Co-op's to keep control of their respective markets!

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Iove_crows Nothing to see here folks.... just storing my massive wealth for the crash.

Dig deeper because I've been reading about how much American farmland the Communist Chinese own. Let's see who REALLY controls America's food. I'm not happy about either one of them. Nor do I like the idea of the US government owning it either as they've paid so much in subsidies

elleprovocateur The oligarchs are our modern day Kings and now they own fiefdoms. Welcome to the future. Time to research feudal system.

People WAKE Up. Theses socialists billionaires and social media are taking over all our thoughts . Why in the world does Gates need all this land if not to stop middle America from living the way we have

he's also blocking the sun and he will patent water. this son of a whore should be sent to mars.

And no ones worried the biggest proponent of vaccines with ties to eugenics is also the biggest farm land owner? Black folks this is the face of your enemy! A smiling devil with murderous intent. If he can’t kill with his vaccine he’ll do it with your food.

If Farm consolidation isn’t a “National security threat” then nothing is.

DrKND C.o.m.m.i.e destined for HELL

ONE WORLD GOVERMENT,. LOUIE!!! THINK AMERICA DONT KNOW BY NOW!! INE, QUIET HEAD AT HELM, IF ALL THIS !! LOOK DONT LOOK LIKE HE'LL EVEN BE THERE TO ENJOY, HIS MAYHEM!! SAD. SAD!! JUST THINK OF THE HONEST GOOD, THAT COULD'VE BEEN DONE!!

hmmm... farming? I wonder what all that land is for.

RandallLane Bezos Ranch too

RandallLane Inspiring urban sprawl... I think it's as fun & comment-able, if they/their children come up with the exact plans already, to begin devoting more of their own devotional energies.

to BillGates you have no long future after the big reset. Look at yourself in a mirror. Your end is comming.

INSAF66700140

He finally got to win at monopoly. Lol

Oh get ready for Modify food to the extreme, Vaccine didn't work in reducing population, Food will :(((((

China’s acquisitions of land and ag/food technology should be a much bigger concern. Seriously. Report on that.

Wonder what that slimy nerd is up to now 🧐

Do whatever I say, don't do whatever I do...

Farmers getting old and no one wants to work the land. Capital intensive and high risk. Farmer dies, billionaire buys farm to deploy tech automation. Billionaires - turning new money into old money into new money. How to protect your billions during inflation/ a commodity boom

And vaccines are free for everyone. Ops no, every country is buying them by millions

I mean he needs big lands for all the vaccinated army who gonna be under his control when he recalls us all.

globalista

When did billgates turn communist? cpc paid him. ompeo should sanction this commie spy.

Oh well !!!! 🥴 anyway we are 👉🏻 💀 🥴

Why does someone with so much money want even more to add to his ownership, unless they have an agenda.

He’s buying up land to stop farmers farming

Isn't he behind the communist globalists' Great Reset, his private property will be confiscated.

KissTheGroundBill BillGates kissthegroundCA

Why would he want all that land?

Bill gates now can make money off the GMO food he supplies the public.

Do I think Bill Gates is behind some sort f worldwide conspiracy no of course he isn’t, do I think Microsoft has become far too complicated for old farts like me to use and ask you at least 10 times to allow cookies !! yes please can you make it simpler

Para su desgracia no es inmortal y no se llevará nada al infierno.

shocker

No he is the second biggest owner . Don’t question his motives....

RIPPEDGYM

Satan in a suit

Comunist and billionaire. Always the same way... 👎🏼👎🏼

Real meat for him and his friends, for slaves - sprayed plants, worms and synthetic meat...but as bonus people will get his vaccines and microchips, so everyone can feel safer.

A person like him should not have all of that production space

After he told everyone else not to buy it.

Stop trying to scare the people. The Law of the Land handbook says otherwise.

Influence on food ✅ Influence on health ✅ Influence on water - work in progress What do people real need in life 🤔

Great. Soon he will start selling the waters under the soils. FUCK CAPITALISTS !!!

Mukesh Ambani is going to emulate that man..or probably already has.

It is not a matter of owning, buying or possessing is a matter of Power! The only thing he wants is Power and domination!

Genetically Modded Bill...

🤦‍♂️

It’s just so clear where this is all going!!

meanwhile he World Economic Forum group has the balls to advertise everybody will own nothing. and be happy. meanwhile they are buying up everything. Satan group in the flesh = World economic forum

NeilClark66 he who owns the land, owns the country.

Feudal lord

not for long

Man who has never used a shovel or driven a tractor is the largest farmland owner in America.

From DOS to green pastures. Who knew?

Mr. Rabbit

Ok good. As if 2021 couldn’t be even more of a shit show. We’re about to the the United Gates of America. 2021year UnitedGates

Sad. Which one owned by Gate Bill?

Not for long! 🥳

Lucky all those farmers voted for idiots who believe in trickle down economics. Now they can hand over their land and just work for Bill. What's the going rate for farm work? Ah, doesn't matter, minimum wage is $7.25, workers will have to earn their living wage to keep Bill rich.

so that means we're all dead

I’ll take “how to never pay taxes again” for $1000

He is Satan incarnate. Evil man in a body suit made to look good.

This is why most don't trust the vaccine. He's trying much too hard to gain access to the human anatomy.

BillGatesBioTerrorist FuckBillGates FDA is complicit USDA is complicit

“The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was to convince the world he didn’t exist”

The man a psychopath, a eco Anarchist, just imagine how more shit he wants to pump into people through food or lack of!

Relax everyone. Acres are small, his 272K acres are 378 square miles - whereas the US is 3,800,000 square miles. So he owns 0.01% of the US. There are 3 families each with over 2M acres:

Yeah and you wonder why....criminal

Should be forbidden. He and those other oligarchs should be stripped of their wealth.

The problem with extreme income inequality is disproportionate private economic and political power. Raise his taxes, not to take 'his money,' but to re-balance power in our society. He does some good things with his wealth, but who decides?

Towers_Go Has Bill Gates been arrested yet? The swamp is being drained. God bless those who seek the truth and fight for freedom!

Passaggio ovvio...beni reali in mano a loro🤷beni cartolari in mano al popolino😠attaccate la proprieta in mano alle famiglie😜fate un favore a questi multimiliardari pdnetwork Mov5Stelle ecc

Awesomesauce

elleprovocateur Majority of the gates investments are in good old physical commodities. We still live on a physical planet. Control the basic necessities and means of their production and the same power plays of fuedalism

The famine is coming.

With the largest amount in Louisiana, I'm wondering about his focus on biofuels. It's the ideal climate for this production. Additionally, wondering about his implementing carbon farming solutions? Seems to make sense given his focus... maybe I'm too idealistic. ClimateCrisis

I’m sure this is fine

Not good. Prepare for vegetables and meat that also vaccinates you

Some of the most horrible news.

Who sold it to him?

elleprovocateur Be careful what you eat.

Pure Evil.

This is some evil villain shit right here. This enigma goin after the food supply.

God, I hate rich people.

You thought that was corn you were eating? ha! It was microchips. He got you!

ah, noted farmer Bill Gates

No GMO foods! He can afford to make soil and seeds organic without pesticides. No gmo foods. No gmo vaccines.

🙃🙃🚫

AntonKreil

A eugenicist owning all of the farmland in the world. What could possibly go wrong?

You don't trust my vaccines? Well how does breakfast taste? eugenics

js100js100

The land should be expropriated without compensation. Oh wait, it’s not Africa.

Bill Gates looks more and more like Mr. Burns.

js100js100 Works well with his lab meat agenda.

Fact check he would not be the largest in Montana let alone the country journalismisdead

So basically BillGates will be growing his own food away from civilization while everyone else who has survived this COVID19 madness and will survive future pandemics will be dependent on rations, stamps and Walmart. Smart boy.

So sad

Total evil.Look at his face.

Depopulation via food. Not bad.

Good for him... does that mean my milk prices will drop?

ऊपर जाओगे तो सब साथ लेकर जाओगे का चचा BillGates

js100js100 so he can grow all those GMO crops to sell back to the people. This man needs bringing down and fast.

tina_tinalondon What could possibly go wrong!!! 👿

But...but...but....abolishing private property? And the great reset? And our sustainable green future?

F that weirdo !

Gene-editing would both drive faster growth rates of animals, “causing real suffering” and would entrench factory farming, with its conditions that allow diseases to spread, he told The Independent.Bill Gates makes more money with disease so win win for him- gross😷

Uomo dai tanti interessi.

Mick12140 You sneaky little bugger. Game over man. Game over!

And here was me thinking this man was a philanthropist and giving his fortune away!! No, instead his wealth grows rapidly by the year and is the 4th richest man in the world! Mental!

He is evil.

Started from the bottom now we here.

Conspiracy theorist : He's going to put his chips in our food 😭😭

Microchips in our food conspiracy theories in 3...2...1...

In this paper I argue that agricultural subsidies persist because of interests like those of Bill Gates in agricultural land

What could possibly go wrong if he decide to build things on most of that land... to make more money...🤔🤔🤔🤔

These dudes really be playing chess with the world don't they

Lab grown human beings aren’t too far now. 😂🤣

Being worried about the wealthy owning all the food makes you a conspiracy theorist? Dark days ahead.

Thats Farm with a Ph

His Fukkin vaccine is causing central nervous system inflammation. Twitter keeps deleting the video’s.

omar_chowdhury If a man like Gates wants to depopulate the world by making everyone take his covid-19 vaccination, now what the fuck is he going to put in the soil, into the food we eat? 🤔🖕

NeilClark66 Just remember, if it wasn't initially for his parents' money and corruption, Gates would have been hacking from his bedroom. They used IBM to give the high school dropout the coding skills he needed, then he left to use IBM coding to create Microsoft, with his parents' money.

All hail technocrat Gates! Jack of all trades master of none 🙄.

Asset strip Feudalism.

Something's off with this. Will the produce in the future come with free microchips inside? 😢

Hope he’s safe 🙏

This should concern people at their breakfast table because HE'S NOT A FARMER

America's favorite white collar criminal and sex offender. Microsoft should have been broken up long ago, and Bill Gates thrown in jail for bribery, racketeering, and whatever else he was up to at Epstein's Island.

Why is Forbes on a personal mission to state that Bernard Arnault is richer than Bill Gates? They habitually over-inflate Bernard Arnault's net worth. Honestly, it's getting petty now and really boring.

What happened to giving away 95% of his wealth to charity. Now, thanks to the WHO and Covid he has his Malthusian eugenist monopolistic hands in education, health, food and government. Mr Burns personified.

NeilClark66 Yup Monsanto frankenfood anyone ?

Sysngn 😮

Hmm..why?

NeilClark66 Programmer, doctor, epidemiologist, virologist... farmer

Is he trying to buy up the world? Sick of the sight of him. Go away Bill. The world is worse off with your tinkering

kurgatkogeyben

He's going to slow down the food supply and/or genetically modify it.

His father William Gates sat on the board of planned Parenthood....except back then it was called the 'American eugenics society'.

NeilClark66 Nonce.

This is absolutely fine...can't wait for my first GMO dinner 🤦‍♀️

242,000 acres, oooooooooooo.... I mean the three biggest farms in Australia add up to nearly 15m acres so I wouldn't worry...

this wont end well for human health....taste the GMO

Now that's the way

cc DMDent

Bill Gates King of the World

Curiouser & curiouser 🤔

WE WILL DESTROY YOU IN FIRE AND YOU WILL REGRET THE DAY YOU DECIDED TO TARGET HUMANITY

Scary times we live in

Hi sir am Patrick and you

Something weird about dude

i've ruined the sky so must acquire remains of what little is left.... I feel... i feel: H - a -a Pie H - a -a Pie H - a -a Pie

I liked Soylent Red. But is Gates going full on with Soylent Green to feed this crazy world?

What could possibly go wrong?

Maybe you should borrow the Facebook fact checkers. Ree & Ladd Drummond own 433,000 acres of farmland and are not the largest landowners; so Bill Gates can’t be the largest owner of farmland in the US.

That’s the distance from LA to Phoenix squared! Must have some big plans. Maybe it’s to help the poor out lol

Research how much of American land China owns. Wake up America

America is fxcked

He belongs in Gitmo

Interesting. Why does he need to own so much farmland? He is a man of vision Microsoft. So, what is he envisioning? I hope good for humanity and not power to control and profit.

Forbes please as a professional make it clear you mean USA not continent of America...

Rebuked. Send back to sender. No thanks, I’ll trust the organic farmers who’ve been feeding and healing on earth since day one over this evil...nerd,

Smart move by BillGates to invest cash in land now that housing, stock, currency, gold, big tech, is valued as ludicrous. The world should find comfort in the GatesFoundation amidst looming doom. philanthropy

🤮

After he created a pandemic he is buzy buying farmland

“America’s biggest owner of farmland is now Bill Gates” It’s where he grows his 5G

Why we forget that he donates most of his money.

Feudalism returns.

Mr. Gates, how about assisting Arkansans to get our legislature to remove the confederate stars from our state flag, please.

In which countries are the farms he owns?

So tech industry isn’t putting him as the richest man in the world, now he’s competing with farmers and health care? Seems Like this is competition with Bazos/ Elon Musk?

I own more so this doesn’t impress me

Can we just go ahead and raise taxes on billionaires? This is ridiculous.

KassandraKitson Vile

That is probably not good

👎

none of it will be touched for 'reparations'

normonics

Bill Gates should be in chains

Most blue check mark folks meanwhile Have no comment Cause most blue checkmark folks are too spineless to criticize Gates

UpperLowerClass Fool couldn’t grow a radish

Looks like the demon needs even more space 😾

This man is sick and all over the world dabbling in diseases, vaccines putting fauci in charge of his vaccines around the world project since 2010..now inventing his own meat and poisonous sprays on fruits and vegetables ...gross😷BillGates

Neo-feudalism FTW

We’re going to see some more conspiracy theories of trans-gene soon

super_trades God Bless Bill Gates! The man was the 2nd Coming of John D. Rockefeller. Maybe even more ruthless in fact Now he's a GOOD GUY and one of us on the farm. Don't forget, he's going to save everyone in Africa too.

Something very seriously wrong with this. We don’t need him conducting his science experiments on peoples food.

he def tryna fuck with the food now

Great... a real trustworthy guy. What could go wrong?

GMO!! 👿

Billy of the week ShaanVP theSamParr

That's terrifying

Why is he still alive?

Money is the root of the sin l believe now evil works w money other way around money wrks with evil

I see robots.

Congrats to him

Very interesting.

Which lump is Ur favorite, pls?

Re: Gates land holdings - 'enough to make him the TOP PRIVATE farmland owner in America.' (presumably at 270,000 acres) Jeff Bezos is investing in land on a large scale, landing the 25th spot with his ownership of 420,000 acres, mainly in west Texas. That can't be right.

The farm lands where he developed the viruses of all nature, Polio, computer viruses, then selling the protection against the viruses, lastly, and lately his best achievement has been the spread and manufacture of Covid 19, now selling the vaccine, he is immortal.

'242,0000 [sic] acres of farmland' So which is it? 2,420,000 or 242,000? Line 4 at the end. Fix it.

➡️🤔from Vaccines to food supply ....I wonder why 👁🌍👁

He’s got inside information that marijuana will be legalized under JoeBiden He will have the largest dispensary conglomerate in the US. cheechandchong He will be the largest grower in the US.

And conspiracy theories starting in....3.....2.....1. Go!

Poor farmers 🐔🐓🐤🐂

shinygali ANTI TRUST HIS ASS NOW

Too bad he couldn't find a vaccine for aging....

Today I learned that people are stupid enough to seriously worry about Bill Gates 'messing with the food supply'.

That’s not good😳😳

He will supply you with vaccines, he will supply you with food, he will run your elections and probably he will pay your salary. 🤣🤣🤣

You’re article says 242,0000 acres of farmland. Is this some of the new anti-racist math? Wasn’t sure in regular math terms if it’s 242,000 or 2,420,000?

It’s in good hands 👐🏽🙏🏽

And now that the food supply has been secured! The rest of us are screwed

Let the conspiracy theories commence!

Wow congrats Gate 👏👍
