You'll never guess who is the nations's largest private owner of farm acreage.

[Diggin It]

So, you can read it here:

[h=2]Bill Gates owns 242,000 acres of farmland, making him America's biggest private-farmland owner, according to a new report[/h]

Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft and fourth-richest person in the world, owns farmland in 18 US states from Washington to Florida.

So what? Gates owns 240,000 acres of the 915 million acres of US farmland. That's 0.026% of the total. The Mormon Church owns 4 times that number of acres. How much farmland is owned by insurance companies?

Outrage is the currency of social media. What will be the panic trigger tomorrow?
