"An NBC News analysis also identified Gates as the largest farmland owner in the US.
Almost 300,000 acres is a lot of land for one family or private individual to own, but it’s still just a small part of the estimated 911 million acres of farmland in the US." - https://www.vox.com/recode/22528659/bill-gates-largest-farmland-owner-cascade-investments https://www.vox.com/recode/22528659/bill-gates-largest-farml...
Not sure what is the point of this "Bill Gates is single largest holder of US farmland" narrative. It seems like a conspiracy theory in the making.
When put into perspective, amount of farmland he owes is not that big, if it was in a single square it would be 20x20 miles.
