915 million acres
. . . in the United States is farmland.
So, 242,000 acres is 0.026%.
(approximately 190,000 acres of farmland owned by Chinese interests)
The biggest number I found is 37.6 million acres, or about 2.9% of the nation's total farm, ranch and forest land, were under foreign ownership in 2020
Another way of looking at it...
This is less than 20 miles square; the size of a small metro area but much less than the typical Midwest county. (640 acres per square mile.)
The value of that is a different story; assuming it's undeveloped land (rangeland to cropland) it would be $500/ac in AZ to $20,000/ac in IA. If it's commercial or residential potential, easily 5x that.
As u/gnuguy said, he doesn't really own that much. The amount of farmland, ranchland, and timberland, in the US fluctuates between 900 million and 1.2 billion acres every year based on reclamation, development, nature preserve trusts, etc. etc. We gain and lose agricultural land every year based on a variety of factors.
The amount gates owns in miniscule. He's just the largest INDIVIDUAL farmland owner in the US. So no, not really anything much he can do. Honestly, if I were to wager a guess, I'd say this is probably more to do with DUMBS than anything. He's probably buying land on top of DUMBS and having it designated as private property to prevent snooping.
I wouldn't be surprised if he's buying based on his knowledge of the contrived food and fuel shortages to come. It's like piglosi's insider trading. Or like Lex Luthor buying up worthless desert land on the east side of the San Andreas fault and planning on nuking the fault so he will own the most expensive coastal real estate.
No, he's wisely investing his assets. Real estate is inflation proof.
If he's smart he will lease the land so its value increases and he can collect rent. Leasing land is one of the few ways young farmers with no assets can get started. Win-win.
Bill Gates is dead. The real one. So we're watching an actor expose his evil the same way fake Biden is exposing the evil of dead Biden. We're watching a movie to wake up the normies. Besides, any assets in the Gates Foundation will be or has already been seized under Trump's EO regarding human trafficking. My take, anyway.
Didn't Trump sign an executive order that any fuck stick caught being a treasonous prick will have all their assets taken away? I believe the wording may be a tad different though.
Some of these might be worth a dig if anyone is interested. Top ten largest private land owners. Examples: Ted Turner, John Malone (majority shareholder of Liberty Media) and Stan Kroenke (owner of the LA Rams, wife a Walmart heiress).
I think the AZ holding is intended for a "smart city." It is farmland right now. However, we are up against a major water shortage from urban use already. This reality is not penetrating after 50 years of development dominating the economy.
This is why he is buying up farm land in the US. To not grow crops or raise livestock and starve the US because his criminal vaccines was a disaster for him.
Still need people to run that land and their cooperation will only go so far, things turn to shit and they're not going to be talking orders that goes against helping themselves and their community....
Listen this is overblown. 242K acres ain't shit. Yeah he owns A LOT of land and yes he could buy way more. Let's be real though, this ain't shit when it comes to total farmable land in the US. Yes, he should be held to the justice deserved for a murderer and traitor, and yes I do not want him to own even 1 acre, but this is overhyped that he "owns all the farmland." He won't be able to walk down the streets shortly. Let alone, is this even the real guy anymore? I heard the Indians had their justice for his crimes against their kids.

Bill is probably going to grow pot. Or maybe he will raise poisonous snakes.
Seeing photos of him lately, he may just be afraid of running out of food for himself.
ha ha!
Maybe he needs lands to bury bodies?
He seems to favor Louisiana, where the climate is right.

Thanks for helping put this in perspective.
I have 15 acres. Not selling.
Now. Who wants to pay me 75 dollars for a box of blueberries??
I’ve got even more expensive eggs to trade Lol!
Unvaxxed eggs are the holy grail.
Seems like buying and controlling farmland in order to starve the American People could be considered TREASON.
How it works for who? Our fantasies?
Or Trump's acquisition company?
Do you mean dwac?
Perhaps when we get a sane government back his lands can be seized as a matter of national security and put to agricultural use.
My hope is that a dead criminal does not need land.

Big brain move, Lexington. 🧠

It looks like he's playing monopoly or risk in our country.
No, he's wisely investing his assets. Real estate is inflation proof.

Only 1 acre in New Mexico?

My take too. The downvoters are either in denial or they will never be real women.

Bill Gates needs to be in jail. Not a billionaire land owner!

Mr. Bill Gates... Where is the ground water going? Why does the farm land you own line up with this groundwater depletion map?

What a great find. Tks for posting this.
I think the AZ holding is intended for a "smart city." It is farmland right now. However, we are up against a major water shortage from urban use already. This reality is not penetrating after 50 years of development dominating the economy.
I just realized that I don’t believe Bill Gates is alive and I also believe the acres he “owns” belong to the white hats.
Huh.
Wow, that's a big chunk in little Louisiana.
This is why he is buying up farm land in the US. To not grow crops or raise livestock and starve the US because his criminal vaccines was a disaster for him.
242,000 acres is a square of 19 mi on a side
It's not as much as you think
I want to own that much land
We need a web site that real time tracks Gates, Soros, Schwab, His dog, Harari, etc.
Don't worry, something tells me he won't be keeping it for very much longer.
Let’s call him by his proper name: Bill Gates of HELL
I can't wait until all this is sold.
All President Trump needs to do is prove his guilt and complicity in genocide, and all this land can be given back to true American farmers. For free.
Still need people to run that land and their cooperation will only go so far, things turn to shit and they're not going to be talking orders that goes against helping themselves and their community....
I expect it to be a good thing. We're getting it anyhow.
Pesky 13848....
Only a fucking megalomaniac like Bill Gates would buy up all the farmland just to be able to control the food people consume.
Huh. I bet a beer if anyone puts this against a Dem election map, it'd match (excluding New England States, those are already owned)
No it will not violate anti-trust laws

It can be taken away for treason and crimes against humanity.
No, if his WEF and NWO membership is up-to-date
