It’s nice to see an old ranching family still control their farms.

Where it becomes a problem is that many of the largest owners of farmland are tech billionaires who are buying up vast swathes of farmland.

Gates, Bezos, and Buffett all of huge holdings. It looks like neo-feudalism with a small number of aristocrats controlling a large numbers of peasants working land they don’t own.

One of their former “neighbors” was Ted Turner, until he sold out to the Osage Indian Tribe.

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