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.

I hear your preoccupation for this totalitarian model of accumulation. The solution is called EXPROPRIATION and agrarian reform, i.e. transfer of the land from those who speculate to those who produce and work on it

Shame on India 🇮🇳 💔 The current government regime is licking the ass of some billionaires in India 🥱 And harming the people. Let me tell you giving you a lollypop of free Internet and Mandir 😂😂😂 won't help you for long.🙃 Because only weak people take support of Religion🤤

This guy is a legend. No conspiracy theorist can defame him

Dear BillGates, What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and and lose his soul? From: An unvaccinated African Susbistence farmer VaccineStrategy Lockdown

He can own the bloody planet I care less as he doesn't provide my needs. All he does is put fear in us black people and I'm not scared to die know that

Wonder if he's going to allow cancer-causing pesticides to be used, too? You know, to protect the little big pharmas!

He doing too much

Stands to reason. On average, doesn’t he own the most of everything?

Does he know how to farm?

He will build concentration camps

Lovely 😊 fresh food for human and animals. He is going to be the richest person in the world 🌎 again soon as I have heard of short of food in the world soon.

Lucky Americans, he will probably make it the people’s land when he passes hopefully stopping commercial exploitation.

Carbon.Sink.

Well !! Farmers are polite, unlike Indian farmers farmersrprotest

NkanduCNonde God must be crazy.

Master Gates. 😆

US heading to a Soylent Green era

Someone needs to put rock salt on his land

More room to spread 💩

Less farmland, more Xbox’s

Satan's archangel acquiring land.

Why not? Whenever the Republicans are in office, they shower the farmland with taxpayer funded money (don't you dare call it socialism!) so as to secure their votes. I mean, let's be honest.

The devil in human form.

He looks like a farmer, dirt under nails, ripped jeans, calloused hands..uh ha

The 🐐

What does Bill Gates want with farmland...... I guess we will find out over the next few years

This is significant & noteworthy.

tailopez go get’m

That's not good

There's now going to be chips in the chips

This is why I had to buy $LAND last year. It pays a monthly dividend and I get to feel like a farm owner 👨‍🌾 🌽

What do you expect after how much he made playing with Viruses for Microsoft? Now he has more then doubled that amount playing with viruses with the UN & WHO? Seems all above board just as much as Hunter Biden being on the board of Barisma doesn't it and Sleepy Joe getting a cut?

Yup

And here in India this would have cause a massive uproar

VOOR HET VUURPELOTON ERMEE

Reading this headline reminds me of the song, Ruby and Rosie‘ by Keith Greeninger and Dayan Kai “Silicon chips are not like trees of fruit; They don’t bloom in the Springtime Or bring their fruit into the fall.”

Too much of anything in one hand is never good.

this demon?

Land - You can’t make more of it.

Expect scarcity of food crops soon, or be ready to eat vaccinated crops soonest

Satana

🥲

It's an inflation hedge against all the monetary mass destruction that he has been cheering for from the sidelines.

Good. Rather Gates than the capitalists’ sellout who’ve sold 13 billion in US real estate to Chinese citizens. What up with that?

He will probably use it to grow organic food and makings it affordable to many people LMAO 😂

...not strange at all.

Who Is Bill Gates? (Full Documentary, 2020)

Hmm...

frightening! Genetically modified foods on the docket

Welcome to the hunger games after the pandemia nuckle head

He is going to inject livestock with vaccin. He loves vaccinating any being.

Land Monopoly, like Industrial and Corporate Monopoly, needs to be investigated, as a potential to create, modern day Robber Barons, in the future. Anti Trust, is important to Americas future.

Wait until he poisons your organic food and the left pushes you to celebrate it.

And your next conspiracy theory is 🥁🥁🥁🥁 “Bill Gates bets big on Zombies destroying tech in America!” 😂😂😂
