My neighbor is a dairy farmer. He owns or leased about a dozen small plots of land where he grazes his cows. His main farm is multiple parcels acquired by his father over the last century.
You would limit him to two pieces of property.
Most farmers have farms that are patchworks of parcels acquired over decades. You'd limit them to two.
Ditto woodsmen, ranchers, huge swaths of rural America.
Had nothing to do with Blackrock, although they or someone like them would be first in line to gobble up those excess properties you force to auction.

They cant, that is the point.
And we could allow up to 6 plots per farmer. Why not.
You think that's a solution?
Define a plot. My house in the city was like 0.12 acres. I'm now sitting on a 30 acre parcel in the country. My neighbor with dairy cows owns several hundred acres divide up among probably a dozen or more parcels, plus he leases probably another 100 more. My other neighbor with cattle has probably 300 acres and all is one parcel because it's been in his family for a century and a half. There are people out west that have thousand+ acre lots of land, while in cities their land is measured out in two or three decimal places..
But we can limit the acreage, right? Well it's not that easy because different pieces of land are productive in a myriad of different ways. If you're managing a forest for hardwood vs softwood, you need more acreage due to the longer maturity. What if you're trying to hedge by raising both, and maybe some mushrooms or hogs in between the trees?
It's the same with livestock - you can't predict all the outcomes and you can't know all the variables and even if you could, they all change over time, not to mention the variability due to market demand, the weather, etc.
I could write paragraphs on this just from my own limited experience and it wouldn't even scratch the surface. And that doesn't even address who's going to make all the decisions taking into account vast amounts of data that they don't have and can't possibly collect.
This is the problem with central planning and it's unsolvable.
Then there's the issue of limiting properties. I know my county auditor - personally. As do most people in the county. We know where she lives, where her kids go to school because it's where everyone's kids go to school. We know the sheriff and his deputies. You think any of them are going to implement your policies? They're in the same position as all the rest of us. You'll have to staff every county auditor and sheriff's office with cronies in every rural county in every state in the country.
Lastly, what are you going to do about severed property rights? Good portions of the country have their property rights divided - mineral and lumber harvesting in the East, water rights in the West. There are entire parallel property systems for these various rights that don't correspond to the surface right boundaries, may or may not be recorded centrally, and can vary by region or even from property to property?
You see the reasoning in the policy though yes? To prevent people like bill gates from buying 250,000+ acres and hurting the agriculture market with it. Pushing land values up, reducing land availability?
Why dont you worry about these issues instead?
Worry about these issues instead of what? Pointing out your cure is worse than the disease?
