Bill Gates has no benevolent bone in his body, so why is he loading up on American farmland? The manufactured food crisis has been in development for several years, giving him plenty of time to position himself for maximum return: When food prices skyrocket, as they are now, Gates will reap a windfall. ⁃ TN Editor
The North Dakota Attorney General’s office is investigating a land transaction involving one of the biggest farmland owners in America, billionaire Bill Gates.
In a letter dated June 21, Attorney General Drew Wrigley’s office asked the Red River Trust, an entity connected to Gates, about a recent purchase of a multi-thousand-acre potato farm, according to local news KFYR.
Wrigley’s office informed the trust that all corporations or limited liability companies are strictly “prohibited from owning or leasing farmland or ranchland in the state of North Dakota” and “engaging in farming or ranching.”
“In addition, the law places certain limitations on the ability of trusts to own farmland or ranchland,” the letter said.
Red River Trust has 30 days to respond from June 21 to Kerrie Helm, the AG’s Corporate Farming Enforcement Division, about the farm purchase.
“Our office needs to confirm how your company uses this land and whether this use meets any of the statutory exceptions, such as the business purpose exception, so that we may close this case and file it in our inactive files,” the letter continued.
A corporation or LLC “found in violation” of the anti-corporate farming laws could face harsh penalties, such as a $100k fine and one year to divest the land.
AgWeek revealed the trust spent $13.5 million on a 2,100-acre potato farm in Pembina County in November 2021.
North Dakota AG Commissioner Doug Goehring told KFYR that many people across the state are “upset” and “livid” about the billionaire purchasing farmland.
Bill Gates buying up this much farmland should alarm every American.

Over the years, Gates has quietly amassed 270,000 acres of farmland across the country through personal investment vehicles, though still a small slice of the nearly 900 million total farm acres.
Gates isn’t alone. Other billionaires, including Amazon’s Jeff Bezos, have recently increased farmland holdings.
Could this be why billionaires are buying so much farmland?

I’m looking into hydroponic gardening. That’s a covert way to have a garden without everyone knowing about it. There will also be no outside nuisances to deal with as in outside soil gardening. The major drawback I can see with this type of gardening is in the possibility of not having electricity to provide lights for the plants. Having a solar powered backup generator could come in handy. They probably cost an arm and a leg too.
hydroponics is a great idea, but should we be in a position of hiding from the govt WE created in order to protect OUR rights? and even if you grow the food, you can’t share it with your neighbor. the govt we made gives away our tax money to non-workers and illegal aliens, but we aren’t allowed to share the physical fruits of our labors with our neighbors and friends? we cannot allow these rules to stand.

Just like he ensured that the covid shots were liability-free through EUA, I am confident he also has a CWA exemption planned that will tilt the growing field in his favor (and against non-corporate agricultural). GMO glyphosate soyburgers, anyone?
