Ree Drummond, also known as the star of Food Network’s The Pioneer Woman, lives on a ranch in the middle of Oklahoma. (snip) But how much land does her husband, Ladd Drummond, and his family actually own?

The story of how Drummond met her husband sounds similar to the way most people in their 20s meet a new love: Over some drinks at a bar. (snip) The two talked for a while, but they didn’t end up meeting again for another four months, when he finally asked her on a date. She said yes, and they hit it off. At the time, she had been planning to move to Chicago.(snip)

Today, the couple lives on a huge ranch in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. According to Two Peas and Their Pod blog, who visited Drummond to cook with her on the ranch, Drummond lives in the middle of nowhere with absolutely nothing in sight. This is because Drummond’s husband’s family actually owns more land than you can imagine.

In 2013, Modern Farmer reported on the country’s biggest landowners. While the Drummond family landed at No. 17 on the list, they still own more land than anyone probably thought. The family owns a total of 433,000 acres. To put that in perspective, that’s about 30 times’ the size of Manhattan. It’s unclear how many cattle and horses the family owns, but the family business, Drummond Land & Cattle Company, was founded more than 100 years ago by Ladd’s ancestors. Ree Drummond frequently shows the cattle and horses on her show.

The FBI was founded in 1908 as the Bureau of Investigation. It didn’t become the FBI until 1935. I assume the author is saying the agency built its early reputation on the case. The case clearly did not lead to its founding.

If a Hollywood gossip site says or “thinks” it’s a problem, it’s not.

Also a lot of land there might have been purchased for tax tittle in the 1920s and 30s - usually was around $1 an acre

I have followed Ree Drummond over the years, when we still subscribed to cable TV. She has been and still is, a go getter, achiever of the highest order, and would have done quite well with whatever she set her mind to. Her children were home schooled and routinely helped her in the kitchen and her husband with the outdoor ranching. They are a faith based family as well, and both sides of the family are hard working achievers. How would Oklahoma have benefited from the Drummonds not having what they have acquired, or doing what they still do? Like working hard, paying enormous taxes, local, state and federal. I am native Okla and I admire the Drummonds and their use of the land as well as their earned wealth. They have not limited the opportunities of others to likewise work hard and achieve whatever they are capable of.

Yes, IIRC an Indian was murdered on federal land, giving the FBI, or whatever name it had at the time, jurisdiction.

I once visited Wallara Ranch - NT Australia. 15,000 square miles of Cattle and Sheep ranching.

Hey people monitor known as Karen, NO I don’t shop at any JC Penny, for at least 30 years. There has been no Sears in my area for a very long time and I never shopped there. Woolworths has been gone gone gone for a long time. Get off your high horse you don’t even know me enough to call me petty or jealous, which shows how much of those you are. Take off hoser, have a nice life just keep your your tongue out of your arse.

China mostly.

“Knowing where an item comes from gives a decent estimate on how long the product will last. Most of the dishes and pots are made in China, though the non-stick cake pans are made in USA. Some of the items are the result of collaboration with Hamilton Beach. These collaborations are the slow cookers. Regardless of where they’re made, all the products are designed in USA.”

I wo Der if I can lease a 1/2 acre fro them?

[Pilated]

Yes, I try to give my money to people who are not already millionaires or billionaires.

[be-baw]

Thanks. I have bookmarked hundreds of recipes, but that one I did not have. Until now.

[july4thfreedomfoundation]

I wonder if she and her husband own the oil and gas rights?

[srmanuel]

That’s fine, but unless you shop in nothing but local mom and pop stores for everything which is really difficult, then you are giving your money to millionaires and billionaires one way or the other....

[Right Brigade]

I'm sure her husband and children really appreciate that fact...

"The "Giada at Home" host, De Laurentiis, was formerly married to fashion designer Todd Thompson. She was linked to Matt Lauer, John Mayer, and Flay while she was still with her husband."

Never ever buy Chinese cast iron cookware.
There is no tellin’ what the chicoms put in their export iron.
Buy lodge or buy vintage cast iron made in the USA.
A fifty year old pan will cook just as well,if not better, than brand new one.

[Pilated]

Yes I didn’t say never, I said I try to when I can. You are correct it is impossible every single purchase - I am not so ignorant to think I could do it on every purchase. The ranch they own also gets very large subsidies from our Federal government.

[al baby]

You misspelled Taxpayer

[Portcall24]

Absolutely correct. During the chinese virus she enlisted most of the children to help produce her show.

All mineral rights belong to the Osage Nation. You can own the top 8 inches and pay those taxes.
