According to the US Department of Agriculture farms owned by institutional investors are now responsible for more than TWELVE percent [12.6%] of total food output in America!

That might not sound like a whole lot, but the value of farmland investments has more than doubled since 2020 ALONE.

Cascade Investments is an investment firm that reportedly employs over 100 analysts and operates EXCULISIVELY to manage the assets of Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda. It owns assets like a 71% stake in the four seasons hotel chain and 14% of the Canadian national railway… but it ALSO owns a quarter of a MILLION acres of farmland.

The farmland is owned though a series of smaller holding companies but when asked why they had bought up so much farmland, the firm simply suggested that it was a good investment… nothing more…

Many outlets have claimed that this makes Gates the largest landowner in America… but that’s simply not true… not by a longshot

Major investment companies and even other billionaires have invested so much into farmland over the last 2 decades that it makes Gates’ 250,000 acres look positively pathetic.

So why have cornfields become the hottest asset amongst the big boys on wall street?
