Thread: Bill Gates is now the largest farmland owner in America

    Bill Gates is not a party nor a dictator nor a government. If he buys land he is acting as a capitalist spending money

    True. But for what purpose and end game is the question that we must look at, in the larger picture of what is going on.

    He could very well sell to China. China is offering exhorbitant amounts of money to farmers right now.

    Mr. Gates (unlike most famers) has no need for money, so I kind of doubt he would be looking to "flip" the property to a foreign buyer.

    I would guess he is acquiring the land for conservation purposes, but I don't actually know.

    You aren't that naive. In this case it wouldn't be about money, but giving China or whoever control of all that land for their purposes.

    What would Mr. Gates have to gain from giving control of his property to some other country? He's no longer in the private sector and has more money than he knows what to do with. (I do want to re-emphasize that I'm engaging in pure speculation since I have no knowledge of the details.)
