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.

Not one bit, lol! I’m extremely blessed with what I have. :)
Is your laugh so dull you have to double post??
433,000 acres equals 676 square miles. Rhode Island covers 1,212 square miles.
If located in the northeast, the Drummond ranch could be another pissant state.
I understand about the crackerbox apartments. This started under Obama——so many apartments/condos being built. Who the heck is going to live in all of them? I guess they planned on putting the flood of illegals in them. I noticed after Trump was elected that started to change. More houses being built but now the tide has changed again. My son and wife bought a small starter house and figured they will never sell it because it might be the only house they will ever be able to afford. He is in the service and will be transferred eventually but will probably just rent to others. And we could leave our house to them. That happens in Europe alot—houses being passed down to next generation. We are in a bad
place I agree.
read the book for a better narrative than what I can give you
Great Non-Fiction (not a novel). Learned a LOT of things from this book that I didn’t know before. And it just scratched the surface of what went on there before the FBI stepped in.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
glad to hear you enjoyed the read.
I worked in a public library before retirement. I got to see a LOT of really good books come through and managed to read quite a few of them. That one was one of the best.
Thanks, ill dig deeper. Mostly just turning items over in the store.
Her brownies with caramel buttercream icing are divine.
You bet. That’s been a hit for me. Everyone loves it.
She doesn’t want all the land, just the land next to hers.
