This is the key reason why they say that Lds, Inc. owns literally 1% of Florida...this ranch is 300,000 acres.

From the article: Most Utahns are unaware that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints owns one of the biggest ranches in the country — and it's nowhere near the Beehive State. [click for map]

From the article: ...450 acres of potatoes for Frito Lay Chips...

...Now that's a real healthy physical and spiritual mission field for the Mormons!

It would be nice if more churches owned and worked ranches instead of whining for more government handouts and helping settle Muslim terrorists in America as my former denomination (ELCA) does.

The most pairs of magic underwear made from one
giraffe was by John Smith(no relation), in 1893.

Amazingly, over 275 pair were made over the course
of three weeks. A record that still stands to this day.

As much as I like individual Mormons I’ve known, am I the only one this seems a bit cultish to? If it’s church owned, is it tax-free?

Here's an article from 2009: LDS Inc. owns .7% of Florida

It mentions: LDS, Inc. has more than $1 billion in for-profit property in Florida -- and breaks that down by counties in Florida.

I wonder if Jesus hung out with the Seminoles too.

Rather than pumping precious groundwater, ranch managers capture and use surface water almost entirely. The ranch is currently battling a lawsuit that's aimed at turning over some of that water to surrounding communities.

Interesting conundrum. Sounds like they are interfering with watershed replenishment but are doing so in lieu of drawing from the watershed.

***...Now that’s a real healthy physical and spiritual mission field for the Mormons!***

Just curious, but do the Mormons still require city Mormon teens to “volunteer” to do a day’s hard labor on the church owned lands?

The level of class envy here is sickening. Instead of throwing rocks at us Mormons for daring to be successful, go back to your crumbling and poorly funded churches and ask your priest there why they don’t take a lesson from us on how to become financially independent.
