I wonder if this article by Daily Caller is accurate. 242,000 acres is not very much land. It comes to less than 400 square miles.

In Australia, there are at least 100 cattle stations (ranches) that are more than 4 times that size in a single packet of land.

Or perhaps is it simply that the land in the USA is far more distributed among a wider population (of owners)?

Been hearing a lot about Gates being the largest farmland owner in the USA, but 400 sq miles seems pretty small. (USA size being around 3,500,000 sq miles).

Thoughts?

Edit: If this is accurate, the Gates ownership equates to some 0.025% of the farmland in the USA. That's not very much (although the size of farmed land in the US is decreasing year by year)!!!

Saucy sauce:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/196104/total-area-of-land-in-farms-in-the-us-since-2000/

242 x 100% / 985000 = 121 / 4925 % ≈ 0.024568527918781728%

Perhaps the Gates thing is a distraction ploy. How much farmland do Blackrock and Vanguard controlled interests own?
