Bill Gates, the potato farmer...

McDonald's french fries, carrots, onions: all of the foods that come from Bill Gates farmland according to a NBC report [follow link to read full story.]

Excerpts from the article:
"They own the soil where the potatoes in McDonald’s french fries grow, the carrots from the world’s largest producer and the onions that Americans sauté every night for dinner. But they’re far better known for their work in tech and in trying to save the climate." "The billionaire couple, in less than a decade, have accumulated more than 269,000 acres of farmland across 18 states, more than the entire acreage of New York City."

"Data gathered by The Land Report and NBC News show that their land holdings range from 70,000 acres in north Louisiana, where their farmland grows soybeans, corn, cotton and rice, to 20,000 acres in Nebraska, where farmers grow soybeans. They bought and later sold an additional 6,000 acres in Georgia, NBC News found. In Washington, the Gateses own more than 14,000 acres of farmland that includes potato fields so massive that they are visible from space and some of which are processed into french fries for McDonald’s. And in Florida, farmers grow carrots on their property."

"The trend worries young farmers who cannot compete with the likes of Bill Gates when buying land, according to Holly Rippon-Butler, a farmer in upstate New York and the land campaigns director at the National Young Farmers Coalition.

“If you’re looking at what this means for farmers on the ground looking to access land, there’s significant competition from nonfarmers, and that really affects young farmers because it means that the price that they’re trying to compete with on the marketplace is driven and determined by people who are not dependent on a farming income,” Rippon-Butler said."
At ths point, you should be asking...why would Bill Gates, the weathly software guru; health advisor extraordinaire [in his own mind]; philanthropist; and depopulation expert be buying up so much land to grow potatoes; corn; onions, etc.?

Maybe, so he can control the food supply and therefore control the people of the world. Think about it...how willing would you be to do as you are told if your ability to eat depended on full compliance with a megalomaniac?

Let's look at the question...who is Bill Gates?:
