Why is Bill Gates buying so much farmland?

According to Land Report 100, Bill Gates has purchased 270,000 acres of farmland over a dozens states. Gates company, Red River Trust, recently purchased 2,100 acres for $13.5 million from a wealthy North Dakota potato farmer. North Dakota’s Agricultural Commissioner, Doug Goehring, said that many people feel they are being used by the ultra-rich who buy land but do not share the State’s values. Residents are questioning the motive of these large purchases of farmland by people like Gates. Good question.

Where do you think he should invest?

You can’t buy what aint for sale BTW

Lol, maybe he’s not into sports cars.

"Buy land they're not making it anymore" --- Mark Twain

If I was incredibly wealthy, I would buy lots of farmland too.

Keith

Where's the beef?

He needs a place to grow the bugs he wants US to eat.

Once he gets the world population down to.500 million.

Hey, maybe THATS why he wants to control food production....

To cover it with gov. Subsidized solar panels.

Smart man. Every dollar he has laying around, or invested elsewhere, is loosing value by the day due to inflation. Farm land continues to appreciate in value while it produces income.

Control the food control the people

Everybody has to eat. Gates is motivated by greed and control. I don’t know which is more important now but my money is on control. Power is a worm that feeds on conscience.

Yep!

To grow cannabis. He's going to make computer chips out of weed.

To put it in perspective 270000 acres in a square is just over 20 by 20 miles square. I'd doubt that much farm land would be to corner any food market. Land as an investment can't be beat in my opinion. Rock solid.

All you have to do is read to find the answers to the questions. He has already made it clear that they are using the land to develop different strains of seed that are appropriate for use in Africa. Seeds that are resistant to different pest and climate vectors that reduce production.

As far as making money goes....hopefully you are aware that he is in the process of giving his fortune away. Not trying to increase it.

The 270,000 acres he owns doesn't even move the needle on the 900 million acres of US farmland

Bill Gates has done more, to help more people, than anyone else alive today and probably ever, but a lot of people rremain terrified of him. He's a saint not Satan.

Keith

I agree Keith !

This. He aint no saint. lol he wants population control.

Why do you think his wife divorced him recently? HE was a a good friend of Epstein and visited the island like all the other lizards did.

No question that he believes the population of the planet is too great. Is that an unreasonable thing to believe ?

North Dakota farmland isn't exactly the best land in the country.
Ted Turner also owns a lot of land in several states.
Canada is the biggest foreign invester of American soil.

Makes you wonder why he is buying up farmland and is promoting vaccines and he is not a doctor or a farmer

I guess that's like believing you shouldn't buy a boat or get your teeth cleaned if you're not a fisherman or a dentist.

Jealousy is yet another destructive force in this country.

Good for Gates. He worked hard and built up great wealth that he can spend or give away however he chooses.

If the socialist Tman complainers don't like it, they can earn some money and buy their own farmland.

No.

270,000 acres of US crop land for the purpose of developing new plant strains for Africa??? Philanthropy is often used to extend one’s vision after they are gone.

Bill Gates is buying farmland to use to find better ways to feed people, so they don't starve. Bill Gates spends billions on vaccines to keep people from dying from diseases. Bill Gates has literally saved the lives of and made their lives better for millions of people. That's heroic not evil.

Keith

He's gonna flood it for the next rat boom...Duh

If you want a healthy population you don’t preserve the old while killing the replacements. Nature and war will always do a better job than some old guy like me. Lol

Not the same thing at all. More like not being a fisherman and buying more boats than anyone else in America.

I have to wonder why it matters, and how it affects you or me, if he owns zero boats or hundreds of boats ? It makes no difference in my life

I heard Gates et al are going to buy up most of it and turn it over to BLM(the movement not the beureau)and others(AIM etc) for re distribution to the people in the spirit of truth and reconciliation(reparations).

He’s a full blown communist and a plays a big part in the WEF. He’s not a good guy

Even better. It will be back on the market one growing season after Gates passes.

Does Bill Gates support trapping? Just saying I would like to know the answer to that..

It doesn't even matter which side of the argument you're on, that's funny either way!

Bill Gates is most definitely not a communist. Look at all the money he spent on protecting intellectual property by getting laws enacted all over the entire world.

Bill Gates gives very slightly more money to Republican candidates than democrat canidates. Politically he is smack dab in the middle.

Bill Gates gives most of his money to keep poor people healthy.

Keith

I don’t know if he has a dog but it’s a well known fact that his wife didn’t trust him and his stance on gun control is known. The fact he had a any type of relationship with Epstein is unacceptable. Especially if it involved visits to Epstein’s private residence. Not the kind of man I choose to defend.

Oh now Whitedog, we all know you want to play patty cakes with a 17 year old high school cheer leader too.

You can pretend its not hard wired into hetero sexual human males to be attracted to young healthy child bearing age human females but then you would be lying.

You can say its wrong for all kinds of reasons to act on those impulses but to deny they exist is a lie.

He's got that child molester look, it's in the eyes, weirdo's can't hide it.

As Will Rogers said, "They ain't making any more of it"!

There were some younger hotties at the gym this evening....all over 18 easily

I don’t even play patty cakes with the ones I know in their mid-forties. They are to young.

if he is buying land to in the midwest to develop seeds for use in Africa he is dumb. Buy land in Africa to develop seeds that are appropriate for use in Africa.

The climate and pests are different in the midwest vs Africa.

While 270k acres is just a drop in the bucket there’s a few North Dakota farm kids who ain’t got a prayer to compete with his money. What are they gonna farm? No you don’t have to be a dentist to get your teeth cleaned but I sure would like to see farmers buying farm ground. Fact is, most farmers can’t afford to buy farm ground and that my friends is a real problem.

He obviously consulted Jbyrd on when to buy.

Africa in general is a very unstable region for a whole host of reasons so putting in plots to create new genetics could well be very difficult if not impossible. Mini environments can be created to simulate the regions and the plants or seeds can be exposed to all, some or other methods to find surviving seed or plants. Another thing to think about there may be GMO research going on to find those that survive and that can be done anywhere in the correct climate controlled areas. Don't know if Gates is going all natural or is willing to work with modern plant genetics. As to his huge land ownership, he does not make the top 10 for acres. He is however buying a higher percentage of crop productive land which may fit in with his long term research and goals. HOpe he contracted his commodity crops during the highs a few weeks ago as they have really dropped off the last 2-6 weeks.

Bryce

The land he purchased in ND is as good as any anywhere. The only problem with it is the shorter growing season.

His deal with Africa is an effort to raise folks out of poverty. When you raise peoples standard of living, you raise their consciousness of the environment, i.e. less pollution. I’ve been to Africa twice, the country side is pristine. Towns and cities are over run with trash and detritus. On a level that’s truly mind blowing and difficult to comprehend. However, he and most others have it backwards. By raising the standard of living they will accelerate the population boom and that will be the nail in the coffin for wildlife. Intertribal warfare, harsh living conditions, tse tse flies, and the mosquito are wildlife’s best friend over there. Oh and hunting dollars.

Bill Gates is using Africa and India as an experimental laboratory with live people for "vaccines" (that are totally not population control) trying to develop markets for unapproved vaccines for drug companies he has interest in.

"All of these programs had accounts forced injections and uninformed consent, as a result, many people were injured and died.

These health campaigns, under the guise of saving lives, have relocated large scale clinal trials of untested, or unapproved drugs to developing markets where administering drugs is less regulated and cheaper"

....and then there was the Epstein Island vacations.

Keith I’m not trying to stir the pot but in the last few years some of his interviews have been eye opening. I’m know he has done some humanitarian work and I applaud him for that.

Bill Gates links to epstein were extensively investigated and no evidence has ever been found of Bill Gates acting inappropriately.

Keith

Keith--Qanon has spoken. Convincing them otherwise is impossible.

Please post the interviews.

I have not seen anything truthful that was negative about Bill Gates. I have seen two different people in videos, that people falsely claimed were Bill Gates, but clearly weren't, posted on this site. In both videos those people had some pretty wild ideas about population control.

I think by helping people the way he does, with no strings attached, Bill Gates is unfortunately going to raise the population in poor countries.

Keith

Bill Gates is pretty tight with George Soros. There are pictures of them together. In fact they both made the news the other day slamming RvW

So tell me why is he working to save lives ???? that dont make sense.

I dont think he is on our side. lol

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...s-slam-supreme-court-s-abortion-decision

Look up the viral video of him grinning ear to ear talking about all the covid deaths. Its pretty creepy.

Thats fake news. There have been no investigations of any of the Johns on Epsteins Island. We are all waiting to see Maxines little black book that the corrupt courts locked up and for some reason. It appears they dont want to prosicute any of the Johns. I wonder why ?

For Blaine County and Keith.

Hard to believe Bill Gates would visit Jeffrey Epstein at his Manhattan residence to play with Epstein’s model train set.

Apparently Melinda didn’t buy it

The proof died with Epstein. How convenient.

Money and power corrupt and Bill Gates isn't above it. He's definitely a big player in the new Liberal World Order movement. And I for one don't trust the guy one bit and it's mostly from things he says and does. You guys on his side are drinking the Kool aid.

In 2014, Bill Gates donated one million dollars to The Washington Alliance for Gun Responsibility, an anti-gun organization. Pundit Mike Weisser commented that gun control supporters had “landed a game changing ally.” Bill gates is no ally of gun owners. As Yer sir said above he is big player in the New Liberal World Order. If this donation to an anti-gun organization doesn’t convince you, then nothing will.

Why don't you try to explain that to Walmart.

Land accumulation by a few wealthy individuals is speculated to have greatly contributed to the fall of Sparta. When the price of land requires 30 years of farming to break even how can anyone get a start? Farming is becoming a rich person's hobby like hunting in Europe.

The loss of the small family farm has been going on and accelerating for at least 50 years. Capitalism at work. Why would a retiring farmer sell his land for $800 an acre when someone will write a check for $1200? The big farms keep getting larger because of economics. They can buy fuel, seed, fertilizer and such in bulk and run modern large equipment lowering their cost of production and increasing profit margins.
Ask yourself why USA pork and poultry production is dominated by China. Someone sold them that opportunity. Bill Gates buying a spud farm should the least of your worries.

Real deal in the trenches farmer here. What you think you know you read somewhere. We farmers are living it, don’t try and tell us anything. The point isn’t selling to the highest bidder, it’s that the highest bidder rarely is a farmer. Take your economics course rhetoric back in the house. We’ll farm the land

I honestly can't disagree with him. I've said for years that we've exceeded carrying capacity.

Based off what standard or what data?

Yep

The big thing around here is Solar panels they're buying farmland and clear cutting land to put more and more of these eye sores.

A lot of people might think that is a reasonable conclusion but history would prove them wrong.

Most countries, ours included, have gone through or are going through a period of time when their economies are/were mainly agrarian. In first world countries it is easy to see how that has changed. When most people lived on farms there were more kids because they were needed to do the work and take care of the parents as they aged. As an example, look at the orphan trains that ran regularly from the East coast to the west...carrying orphans that the farmers across the USA took in as family members. Fresh labor for the farmer and a home & family for the kids.

Modern medicine and improved nutrition have changed that dynamic. Reduced infant mortality has resulted in a lower birthrate throughout Western Civilization.

The fertility rate in North America is about 1.6, UK is 1.63, Japan is 1.38, EU is 1.5

But Africa is well over 5.6-6.8

Gate's position is that by reducing infant mortality we will see the same process take place in Africa as we have seen elsewhere. Consequently his focus on vaccines for childhood diseases and improving sanitation and food production.

HIV is a huge stumbling block in Africa. Many of the people are HIV positive and many get treated. But they still starve to death. A real dilemma.

I think that attempts to address very high fertility rates, inheritance issues, and lack of education for girls, is imperative to get the problems in Africa and India under control. I think Gates has made a more concerted effort in that regard than anyone or any government.

I'd appreciate some hard evidence of those things Jeff. Not something from Twitter or Facebook please.

I'd also like to know what drug companies he "has an interest in". I am assuming you mean a financial interest.

I cant find the article I took that quote from yesterday, Google probably scrubbed it. Look yorself if you want.

If you want to stick your neck out for this dirt bag be my guest. His wife already distanced herself from him. I think we are going to see him in jail someday for his pedifhila with Mr Epsteins.


BTW him and Warren Buffet are the largest donor to planned parenthood. So why is he saving children while funding aborting them ? It dont make sense

Actually MacKenzie Scott ( Bezos ex-wife) is the single largest donor to Planned Parenthood. 275 million. Largest by a long shot. About 200 times the size of BG & WB

Buffet and Gates donation was for domestic violence prevention and education in Latin America. Not abortions.

A fundamental misunderstanding apparently, is that Gates is trying to "save" children. He is try to reduce infant mortality and subsequent conceptions.


I'd be willing to put money on never seeing Gates in jail for anything.

As for what Gates owns, here's what the foundation owns.....no drug companies

FOUNDATION

And here is his personal portfolio........no drug companies

PERSONAL

He is a very intelligent individual that has money and is investing it in land, not any land but some of the best farm land in the world. Everyone on the planet needs to eat and by being able to grow food you have great opportunity for keeping your investments growing. I hope he continues to use it to help people and that greed does not take over his direction in life.

He is planning on raising bugs on that land for food and you will be happy, and then shut the rest down so he is in control of the food supply, you know the too many pesky human people thing again he wants to fix.



Do you own shares of Microsoft

Anyone tied with Fauci…I wouldn’t trust

Anybody that donates one million dollars to gun control is no friend of ours. So I don’t understand how some of you still defend him. I saw a report on The Ingraham Angle tonight called Globalist Want Their Hands On Agriculture. Bill Gates is a Globalist so I wonder what the sinister reasoning is Bill Gates wants all this agricultural land. If you trust him, good for you. I sure don’t. And I don’t care how much charity work he is involved with. He is still an enemy of gun owners.

Amen



Yep
