As of last year, Bill Gates owned roughly a quarter million acres of farmland across 19 different states. There are 70,000 acres in Louisiana for corn and cotton, another 20,000 in Nebraska for soybeans. One of his potato farms in Washington is so big that you can literally see it from space. He's also viewed as one of the world's leading climate activists.
