Top 100 Landowners in America: landreport.com/land-report-100 3. Ted Turner - 2 million acres 4. San Kroenke - 1.7 million acres 25. Jeff Bezos - 420k acres 42. Bill Gates - 250k acres 48. Taylor Sheridan - 266k acres (the guy who created Yellowstone) in total, there's 890 million acres of farmland across America. So these owners still have a small share. But it's growing. And growing fast.
Thank you Nick, this was an interesting video. I laughed when you said "is there a bubble in farmland?"I didn't see it coming, but you are a crash guy so . . .lol. Great work as usual.
It's about the water rights. The crops are temporary and incidental. They are playing the long game believing that many surface water sources will become mysteriously contaminated at some point in the near future. They've been working on this for a few decades now, controlling the water. These are the same lizards betting hard on mass depopulations - why would they care about food? It's the water.
Seems like fairly normal diversification when asset bubbles have spread across asset classes and liquid assets can be stolen more rapidly than real assets.
Gates and company bought 6300 acres in Madison county Ohio. A solar farm will be built there. You should check that out. Supposed to be built next year. But might be going to Ohio Supreme Court b/c people are against it.
@@benton-benton The solar farm going up is likely more profitable than corn or whatever agricultural it displaced. Of course, is the solar profit organic market pricing, or does it depend on federal government subsidies influencing market actors? Both corn and solar receive absurd government subsidies. So really we have no clear signal as to which utility of this 6300 acres of land is most valuable to consumers. If the loss of agro output doesn't affect grocery prices yet it lowers electricity costs, isn't that an upgrade? If the price of food goes up because of the loss of agro output on this 6300 acres and the price of electricity doesn't go lower, then it was a dumb project. My suspicion is that neither agro or solar production are the best use of the land since both have an unfair market advatage over alternative uses because of federal subsidies. Perhaps a 6300 acre suburban development would have been the better option. Or maybe letting the land remain fallow for some unforeseen future utility would be the better option.
@@aaron159r2 I was writing an answer to you and you tube disappeared it when I mentioned what crimes are going on here w/utilities in Ohio. Rep house speaker went to jail b/c of it. More to come. Feds are involved. I would hate to live by that solar farm. It's going to be the largest ever in the US. I'm one county over from it and I hate it. Now watch you tube AI take this off. Hopefully this one will please you tube more b/c there is less information.
Yeah, those billioners receive so much money all the time that they have hard time to minimize taxes and put money to somewhere. Wall Street buys houses and billioners farm land
Neither can you can't print business operations, professional services or raw commodities. These folks own a lot more of those things than land. The land is likely just a diversifying asset with a lower relative expected yield, but available in sufficient volume to buy lots of it without driving the price much higher.
@@carlalv7717 Exactly. Since you can't pack up your land and leave, it's an easy target for local politicians to help themselves to your bounty. Land and farm tax have funded corrupt governments going back to antiquity. Ancient Egyptian farmers were taxed to oblivioun to support the pharoah's absurd military exploits and construction projects.
Investing in farmland can be a good idea, but I believe it's not for everyone due to the physical stress and other factors involved. When it comes to stock investment, it's essential to focus on digital options. I was introduced to the stock market a few years ago, and with the help of a financial advisor, I've seen significant gains in my portfolio. Financial management is a crucial topic that many people overlook, often leading to regrets later on.
Digital investments often offer greater flexibility and liquidity compared to buying a farm. With digital assets, you can easily diversify your portfolio and access real-time market data, making it easier to make informed decisions. Plus, the potential for quick returns in the stock market can significantly boost your financial situation, especially when working with a financial advisor.
I agree. Based on my personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $385k in a well-diversified portfolio that has seen exponential growth. It's not just about having money to invest in stocks; you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have the strength to hold on during market fluctuations.
My CFA, Teresa L. Athas, is a renowned figure in her field. I recommend researching her name online; you’ll find all her credentials and everything you need to work with a reliable professional. With many years of experience, she is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Thanks, I just googled her full name and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a call.
I think that it will be difficult for them to protect their assets from hungry people being ready to risk it all to eat something. Private property is respected only by people with full stomach.
@@stecder2470 You must notify the National Agricultural Service of your desire to purchase a plot of land and get permision. . This must be done by both parties. You must have a valid license for agricultural. You must have proof of sale that you grew and sold agricultural within the specified time. Priority of selling land goes to neighboring land owners. A person or company may not own more land than is provided for by law. And many other restriction that is blocking large land owners and non farmers.
@@romenas That's too bad. I bet fewer capital restrictions could usher in more investment and improve the efficiency and output of the Lithuanian agricultural industry. Are you a resident of Lithuania? Is food more expensive there relative to the USA or neighboring countries with fewer restrictions?
I will buy from the lowest cost producer that offers the best price on a quality product. It's rarely the local family business. Let me ask, would you also buy your vehicle from the local family owned car maker? What about the gasoline, electricity or other energy that powers your life and the factories than make everything you consume? Get that from the local family oil well? We live in a global market, and we should be grateful for that, because the products we consume are far more abundant and affordable today relative to nearly all other times in the past. In 1920, a bushel of wheat cost $1-2. In 2024, wheat was roughly $6-7/bushel. Comparing that to median household income in 1920 ($2500/yr) and 2024 ($78,000/yr), we can see that the annual earnings of an American family in terms of WHEAT rose from about 1,600 bushels per year in 1920 to 12,000 bushels per year in 2024. Family farming did NOT make that happen. It was the rise and implementation of industrial agriculture.
@@user-ms3ko5gn8e I totally agree with the "to each their own" sentiment. The one person who best advocates for themself is oneself. And yes, if you have the privilege to own enough land and have the time to operate a low yield hobby farm at home, then your are a lucky person. A home farm can add redundancy and builds resiliency, but it does come at a cost. Many American families are very busy with kids' education and two working parents or a single parent. Being a stay-at-home casual hobby farmer is a big time commitment with relatively low yield, certainly not enough caloric production to feed a family for the year. Most people are better off having a specialized, modern day job and leaving the food production to the industrial professionals. Nobody has single control over the food production process. It is a very robust ecosytem of competition. Profit margins are VERY low and it requires a ton of capital investement and dedicated, specialize effort. We are not facing a "control the food, control the people" problem in the US.
@@aaron159r2 They create "eco policies" that can indeed control all food production. Some states are implementing controls on rain water collection & well water usage. You can't have food if there is no water. You are entitled to your opinion & so am I. I am also glad that I live on acreage with an orchard, if things fall apart. That I am fortunate for. Many can't say the same.
Lobby your local officials to raise property taxes but add a homestead exemption. That clobbers the returns for investors like gates but can protect small farms.
@@aaron159r2what do you mean?? Those rich people are the ones telling govt what they want done and paying for it to get done, why do you think they’re always in cahoots??
@@aaron159r2 A few rich guys control the government. McDonald's is never going to lock people in a jail and force them to sew their uniforms together but they'll pay State Prisons to make their inmates do it.
Just started my garden, 3 types of peppers onions, tomatoes, celery, cilantro… gonna buy lemon, lime, avocado, and orange trees next… every American should have garden, especially if you live in the green belt where these things grow naturally, easy to maintain and takes a 10x10 plot in your yard….. hard times war, inflation, and famine seem to be approaching, I really hope I’m wrong
@@PolishBehemoth better than eating belt leather like Russians during Stalingrad… I have storable food as well everything I mentioned just supplements that. Anything and everything makes a difference when people are hungry enough to eat other people
Gates bought a large farm near my family in central WA and has cut all operations. It now is just in maintenance mode with a skeleton crew and produces nothing. Weird.
I live in San Diego County and Gates bought a Massive Horse training facility in Del Mar/ Rancho Santa Fe. Some of the most expensive real estate in the country. Also been in maintenance mode for years. They have definitely spent a fortune adding fences, gates, and hedges. All this while he builds his beach side “Bachelor pad” right down the road. Crazy.
@@Darkness8536 politicians and elite would shut off air if they could. They are increasingly controlling water and driving small farmers out of business. Anything to stop self sufficiency.
There will never be a land bubble. The supply is finite, what is available is not all suitable for agriculture, and as food-producing land falls more and more into the hands of the rich and powerful, the food supply will become more controlled. If people did not see the game plan from 2020, then they will never see it.
In 2024, Don't set new year financial goals without consulting a financial adviser. Their expertise ensures a solid plan for success. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments.
Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start. Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resources to guide beginners?
I completely understand the impact of the new year on financial decisions-it's transformative. While I've found success in investing, especially with the guidance of my advisor, Annette Christine Conte, I still appreciate the solid foundation i had. This principles align with the core values of financial discipline.
I live out in the county away from Austin, Texas. 40 years ago pasture land was $800. I paid back then $7000 for one acre to put my house on. Now land is selling for $55000. Per acre. Farms are disappeared!
That’s really sad to hear. It sounds like the surrounding Nashville farmland and acreages too. I loved the Austin area when I visited many years ago. Miles of farmland surrounding the area. I’m building in NC currently and I’m seeing the same situation there.
Doesn’t matter. Global ag output is rising rapidly due to low cost Chinese equipment. US farmers must buy expensive US equipment. They have a higher cost basis that is now becoming uncompetitive and are being squeezed out globally.
@@marcv2648 Yup, this is why tariffs and capital controls usually end up diverting capital and talent into other jurisdictions. You gotta let the free market allocate land, labor and capital in a price sensitive, profit incentivised manner. Other waste, innefficiency and malinventment accumulate. Trust me, the "caps" on ownership will never apply to the wealthy or politically connected. Implement ownership caps and restrictions and they will apply to YOU eventually.
I just caught this video while I was eating breakfast. I am a farmer and your information is pretty much spot on. I’d say it was spot on, but I’m sure I’m missing something and I use your information to back up mine I’ve always wanted to be a farmer and I lived on a farm since I came home from the hospital, I have a different perspective on farming because my dad was a barn during his depression in 1919 and pretty much made sure I live through it all my life. I see people talk about depression and everything like that. I used to tell my dad, the only depression we have around here is you which was my dad he was always concerned about the situation. It’s about to happen or has happened before in the past, these events that were having today have been planned by the few people who control all the money they want to control everything. These people want to control everything being a farmer you learn how things work most important you need to know how to make it work, timing is everything. I gotta kick it. You going cross this cornfield there knowing me, knowing that I’m a farmer you have poor crops there that will not pay the rent. your environment will be lost in two years time or less. Most average age is 57 of a farmer. That means that there’s a lot of farmers in their 70s and 80s still farming and managing their land. They will pass away and most of this land will be transferred to the wealthy, other thing the land farmers have been farming for many years for other people was farmers and now that’s going to their children. The enormous wall of that land is too much for them to comprehend, and as well as other members of the family require them to sell it this land will be lost as well. Small farmer will not be able to work as, if we go with cash rent that secures the investment for Bill Gates and all the rest of these multi millionaires they’re using Crop Ins. the Crop Ins. is a great tool that is needed to support the family farm problem like every good thing like gunpowder it gets used in the wrong way. It’s only there to secure the investment for Rich. The whole idea the Crop Ins. was to help maintain farming during bad times. The farmers have no control, but if you have to pay rent cash rent, you lost your control. There is no way pay the highest rent and for a person wanting the farm. The only way to get land is the pay more rent. There is many farmers that farm 10 to 20,000 acres of land on a $20-$40 an acre margin right now they’ll be losing close to $200 and even more depending on their cash flow, a lot of these farmers have co-ops financing them or corporations controlling the whole network of farming operation so basically that farmers not growing food he’s growing a commodity to be manufactured and chicken. McNugget said McDonald’s during the 30s farmers raise food for themselves first and then sold off what they didn’t need and use that cash for other things. hope is a good thing, but if you don’t work at it has no meaning we definitely need to take the corporate America out of America in the world to free the world, so people can make their own decisions with their own efforts those who do not work will not eat there nobody left to operate this equipment. You got rid of all the small farms with families that worship God. These are the people that made America great having the ability to fix things and make things work. Self taught self learn the road of many mistakes that was overcome common sense. vote Trump with Kennedy and his background. Maybe we can stop Geo engineering which is destroying most of the farmland in the area for those who’s not aware look up Geoengineering Watch Gobal Alert News if you like what I just said, I’d be more than happy to work for the government and the department of agriculture give Donald Trump, my name and number, I want to go after the greed of corporate agriculture man’s chief concern is to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
Paragraphs are your friend - a wall of text is not. Another piece of advice - keep religion out of your conversation - people will not listen to you if you accuse them as 'sinners' and deserve their fate if they have different views than you. However, I did read your comment and appreciate your pointing out about geoengineering. I have also come from a long lineage of farmers that survived the Great Depression well and fed their families just fine. Yes, it was a lot of work. But most people live in cities these days and cities don't feed themselves as they are artificial constructs. Prepping is the word.
God and farmers are hand in hand. Its how we roll. Gates and the elites dont believe in God only profits. Their values dont benefit anyone but themselves.@@JoJo1955
The reason smart investors are buying farmland is because they would rather loose 20% on farmland than 40% in the stock market. They have to store their wealth somewhere and long term farmland is safer than cash, banks, stocks, etc.
Considering the economic situation I ask,?? How can we save our families and friends from financial slavery. It's getting more scary how people are really suffering these days.I can't fold and watch people around me suffer.

Financial slavery, like, crippling debt they can’t climb out of? I think most people just need a basic understanding of finance, and need to be told to only use credit cards like debit cards and pay them off right away. Higher education is a good way to get a good wage, and as long as you avoid New York, LA, or the Bay Area you should be pretty comfortable
Farmland/ranch land is one of the best if not the BEST real estate investment hands down. It’s served us very well investment wise. Especially farms and ranches with excellent water and water rights.
The reason behind this bc US dollar as a reserve currency will be at risk if not already and at some point, commodities especially food supply is going to become even more important.
Great video. Talking to some local farmers and they are losing there butt this year. Expenses 3x over income. Those that took on a lot of debit over the last couple years are going to be hurting for sure.

My father in law and husband wanted to make an organic garden but honestly it’s too much work to do it right if you aren’t well versed in it …which is why gentleman farmers and 40 acres and a mule can’t compete with mechanized plantation farming and water is way too expensive and loss of crops is too big to afford. We had non GMO organic corn and lost 1/4 of the crop to pests. We only had a family of 3 adults and the crops couldn’t support our household and diversity is limited which is why neighbors used to trade their wares The expense is in the cost of water on the grid if you don’t own water rights -that’s why California’s water rights are locked up

Another good reason he and others are investing in farmland is the huge footprint required to build data centers. It's just not that optimal enough profit wise to keep locating them in urban centers since the price of land in those areas are already too high. The only catch is that the land may have to be rezoned for that purpose.
Everyone needs more than their salary to be financial stable. The best thing to do with your money is to invest it rightly, because money left for saving always end up used with no returns.

Deer hunting has made farmland prices rise a ton also. You can charge $10-$60 or more per acre to lease the hunting rights. That has made a huge market and revenue source for land owners.

I inherited a small farm in northwest IL, 35 acres, in 2008 when my mom passed. I sold the farm for $5000 an acre in the spring of 2008 before the credit crises. The land value is based on yield. Yields have improved in the 70 to 90s. The current priced you state are not much higher than the 2008 values. The value will change as the yields change. I believe that can be a challenge with the GMO concerns and the concerns about processed food
Those of us who have actually grown food know how much abundance you can create with just a small effort. While I do think there are scientific methods for large scale production and "expensive equipment" for efficiency, there is less to creating abundance than you might think. Decent dirt, a few tools, some organizing and some water. People that complain about food costs and then go for food stamps and watch TV all day just floor me, they are sabotaging what could easily become their family abundance.

Many farmers around me in Michigan make more money by neglecting their farmland. I’ve been seeing luxury homes popping up in the middle of farm fields.
That's right. In a free market system, nobody is held at gunpoint to participate. All transactions are voluntary and consentual. The seller obviously thought the cash was more valuable than the land.
I totally understand why the people sold to him at the same time wishing they wouldn't but I get it. If someone offered me an insane amount of money for land I can not honestly say I wouldn't take it.
My late husband and I did own some open land…our plan was to raise specialty beef and a few horses…..and some specialty crops…however he died young before we could do that..,and I found that as a woman alone it would be impossible for me to do that alone…I held on to the land for years.,but finally sold it because it was too heartbreaking to keep the land any longer…
Farms are the gold and silver of rich people. As Warren Buffett said, gold doesn't produce any value, farms do. Gold prices can crash when nobody values it. Meanwhile, farms produce value because everyone needs food. Farms are better protection against inflation than precious metals
One lesson I've learnt from billionaires is to always put your money to work, and diversifying your investments. I'm planning to invest about $30k of my savings in stocks this year, and I hope I make profits.
You are right. The best approach I feel is to diversify investments- by spreading investments across different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.
That makes sense. I’ve been using a financial market expert for two years now and I own a six-figure diversified portfolio from investing in stocks. I want to diversify more this year, though.

If they did, they would realize how much of the USA is already foreign-owned/controlled.

However, working with a qualified financial advisor can help you make informed investment decisions and increase your chances of achieving your financial goals.
An investment is a plan to put money to work today to obtain a greater amount of money in the future. It is also the primary way people save for major purchases or retirement. With stocks, bonds, real estate, or commodities, individuals can create a diversified portfolio.
Protecting your capital is paramount. Losing your capital makes it much harder to make money, so prioritize preservation over growth. Remember, there are many investment opportunities (trains), but losing your money means missing the entire journey.
However, collaborating with a seasoned financial advisor can empower you to make informed, strategic investment decisions, ultimately enhancing your prospects of realizing your financial aspirations and securing a brighter financial future.
In Texas you won't find any land in smaller plots less than 20K an acre and land with in 45 min of large city is 50K per acre. Only desert land costs under 3K per acre.
Farmland went up for the same reason houses went up. The Fed suppressing rates down to historically low rates for the last 15 years. And when COVID hit they lowered rates even further. It's the same reason why home prices are what they are. And now most people can't afford these prices.
Not a matter of “suppressing rates.” Interest rates are raised later as part of the boom and bust cycle. The problem is debt monetization which creates new currency to dilute the value of existing dollars.
One of the reasons that extremely wealthy people are buying farmland is because of the VOLUME of land available to buy. For example, a billionaire can't put billions of dollars into Tesla or NVidia stock without driving prices higher, let alone buying up much smaller companies. It also represents a good diversifier relative to billionaires' shares of global stocks. I really don't think it's that nefarious.

More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform.

Top 100 Landowners in America: landreport.com/land-report-100
3. Ted Turner - 2 million acres
4. San Kroenke - 1.7 million acres
25. Jeff Bezos - 420k acres
42. Bill Gates - 250k acres
48. Taylor Sheridan - 266k acres (the guy who created Yellowstone)
in total, there's 890 million acres of farmland across America. So these owners still have a small share. But it's growing. And growing fast.
Thank you Nick, this was an interesting video. I laughed when you said "is there a bubble in farmland?"I didn't see it coming, but you are a crash guy so . . .lol. Great work as usual.
It's about the water rights. The crops are temporary and incidental. They are playing the long game believing that many surface water sources will become mysteriously contaminated at some point in the near future. They've been working on this for a few decades now, controlling the water. These are the same lizards betting hard on mass depopulations - why would they care about food? It's the water.
Seems like fairly normal diversification when asset bubbles have spread across asset classes and liquid assets can be stolen more rapidly than real assets.
Gates and company bought 6300 acres in Madison county Ohio. A solar farm will be built there. You should check that out. Supposed to be built next year. But might be going to Ohio Supreme Court b/c people are against it.
I am wondering if the bubble theories don't translate as well for farmland because of the massive US debt. People need food and government needs cash.

solar farm going up on 6300 acres in ohio.
That messed up old fart finaly made it where it belonged...
@@benton-benton The solar farm going up is likely more profitable than corn or whatever agricultural it displaced. Of course, is the solar profit organic market pricing, or does it depend on federal government subsidies influencing market actors? Both corn and solar receive absurd government subsidies. So really we have no clear signal as to which utility of this 6300 acres of land is most valuable to consumers. If the loss of agro output doesn't affect grocery prices yet it lowers electricity costs, isn't that an upgrade? If the price of food goes up because of the loss of agro output on this 6300 acres and the price of electricity doesn't go lower, then it was a dumb project. My suspicion is that neither agro or solar production are the best use of the land since both have an unfair market advatage over alternative uses because of federal subsidies. Perhaps a 6300 acre suburban development would have been the better option. Or maybe letting the land remain fallow for some unforeseen future utility would be the better option.
@@aaron159r2 I was writing an answer to you and you tube disappeared it when I mentioned what crimes are going on here w/utilities in Ohio. Rep house speaker went to jail b/c of it. More to come. Feds are involved.

You can print money, but you can't print land. These folks understand that simple fact. MP
Yeah, those billioners receive so much money all the time that they have hard time to minimize taxes and put money to somewhere. Wall Street buys houses and billioners farm land
Neither can you can't print business operations, professional services or raw commodities. These folks own a lot more of those things than land. The land is likely just a diversifying asset with a lower relative expected yield, but available in sufficient volume to buy lots of it without driving the price much higher.
They will TAX "your" land.
@@carlalv7717 Exactly. Since you can't pack up your land and leave, it's an easy target for local politicians to help themselves to your bounty. Land and farm tax have funded corrupt governments going back to antiquity. Ancient Egyptian farmers were taxed to oblivioun to support the pharoah's absurd military exploits and construction projects.
The Dutch made productive land where there was only sea before.
Investing in farmland can be a good idea, but I believe it's not for everyone due to the physical stress and other factors involved. When it comes to stock investment, it's essential to focus on digital options. I was introduced to the stock market a few years ago, and with the help of a financial advisor, I've seen significant gains in my portfolio. Financial management is a crucial topic that many people overlook, often leading to regrets later on.
Digital investments often offer greater flexibility and liquidity compared to buying a farm. With digital assets, you can easily diversify your portfolio and access real-time market data, making it easier to make informed decisions. Plus, the potential for quick returns in the stock market can significantly boost your financial situation, especially when working with a financial advisor.
I agree. Based on my personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $385k in a well-diversified portfolio that has seen exponential growth. It's not just about having money to invest in stocks; you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have the strength to hold on during market fluctuations.
That's impressive! I could really use the expertise of this manager for my dwindling portfolio. Who’s the professional guiding you?
My CFA, Teresa L. Athas, is a renowned figure in her field. I recommend researching her name online; you’ll find all her credentials and everything you need to work with a reliable professional. With many years of experience, she is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Thanks, I just googled her full name and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a call.
I think that it will be difficult for them to protect their assets from hungry people being ready to risk it all to eat something. Private property is respected only by people with full stomach.
In Lithuania if you are not a farmer you cant buy land for farming. ;)
what meaning ? be a farmer go pay 20$ for some paper that says so?
@@stecder2470 You must notify the National Agricultural Service of your desire to purchase a plot of land and get permision. . This must be done by both parties. You must have a valid license for agricultural. You must have proof of sale that you grew and sold agricultural within the specified time. Priority of selling land goes to neighboring land owners. A person or company may not own more land than is provided for by law. And many other restriction that is blocking large land owners and non farmers.
Sounds like a bureaucratic nightmare.
@@aaron159r2 It is ;) Oh and foreigners can't own agricultural land at all.
@@romenas That's too bad. I bet fewer capital restrictions could usher in more investment and improve the efficiency and output of the Lithuanian agricultural industry. Are you a resident of Lithuania? Is food more expensive there relative to the USA or neighboring countries with fewer restrictions?
Control the food control the people. Make sure to purchase wisely...support your local farmers & ranchers if possible
I will buy from the lowest cost producer that offers the best price on a quality product. It's rarely the local family business. Let me ask, would you also buy your vehicle from the local family owned car maker? What about the gasoline, electricity or other energy that powers your life and the factories than make everything you consume? Get that from the local family oil well? We live in a global market, and we should be grateful for that, because the products we consume are far more abundant and affordable today relative to nearly all other times in the past. In 1920, a bushel of wheat cost $1-2. In 2024, wheat was roughly $6-7/bushel. Comparing that to median household income in 1920 ($2500/yr) and 2024 ($78,000/yr), we can see that the annual earnings of an American family in terms of WHEAT rose from about 1,600 bushels per year in 1920 to 12,000 bushels per year in 2024. Family farming did NOT make that happen. It was the rise and implementation of industrial agriculture.
@@aaron159r2 To each their own. but people in the great depression had their own farms to survive off of.
@@user-ms3ko5gn8e I totally agree with the "to each their own" sentiment. The one person who best advocates for themself is oneself. And yes, if you have the privilege to own enough land and have the time to operate a low yield hobby farm at home, then your are a lucky person. A home farm can add redundancy and builds resiliency, but it does come at a cost. Many American families are very busy with kids' education and two working parents or a single parent. Being a stay-at-home casual hobby farmer is a big time commitment with relatively low yield, certainly not enough caloric production to feed a family for the year. Most people are better off having a specialized, modern day job and leaving the food production to the industrial professionals. Nobody has single control over the food production process. It is a very robust ecosytem of competition. Profit margins are VERY low and it requires a ton of capital investement and dedicated, specialize effort. We are not facing a "control the food, control the people" problem in the US.
@@aaron159r2 They create "eco policies" that can indeed control all food production. Some states are implementing controls on rain water collection & well water usage. You can't have food if there is no water. You are entitled to your opinion & so am I. I am also glad that I live on acreage with an orchard, if things fall apart. That I am fortunate for. Many can't say the same.
Buy local, learn to farm your own piece of America. Every little bit helps.
100% about controlling the food supply, water and future development.
No. That is a not gonna happen. I fear the government far more than a few rich guys.
Yep
Lobby your local officials to raise property taxes but add a homestead exemption. That clobbers the returns for investors like gates but can protect small farms.
@@aaron159r2what do you mean?? Those rich people are the ones telling govt what they want done and paying for it to get done, why do you think they’re always in cahoots??
@@aaron159r2 A few rich guys control the government. McDonald's is never going to lock people in a jail and force them to sew their uniforms together but they'll pay State Prisons to make their inmates do it.
Thanks for covering this. Most of us know so little about this topic. Please do more videos on farmland!
Just started my garden, 3 types of peppers onions, tomatoes, celery, cilantro… gonna buy lemon, lime, avocado, and orange trees next… every American should have garden, especially if you live in the green belt where these things grow naturally, easy to maintain and takes a 10x10 plot in your yard….. hard times war, inflation, and famine seem to be approaching, I really hope I’m wrong
an interesting fact the Dutch have a green house system that produces 200 tons per acre.

Those things aren't even food. You would starve and die. You need cows, pigs and chickens.
Gates bought a large farm near my family in central WA and has cut all operations. It now is just in maintenance mode with a skeleton crew and produces nothing. Weird.
Decrease food create chaos and create control. We will be controlled by these corporations
That's scary
I live in San Diego County and Gates bought a Massive Horse training facility in Del Mar/ Rancho Santa Fe. Some of the most expensive real estate in the country. Also been in maintenance mode for years. They have definitely spent a fortune adding fences, gates, and hedges. All this while he builds his beach side “Bachelor pad” right down the road. Crazy.
That's how they keep the poor poorer , create scarcity and that product will skyrocket in price
OH is getting a 6300 acre solar farm BG and company bought the land. Watch out, WA might get a gargantuan solar farm as well

You need to come check out rural lands in Texas. 80,000 - 250,000 per acre! The land bubble might be bigger than the housing bubble.
Is that farmland or land for home construction?
There will never be a land bubble. The supply is finite, what is available is not all suitable for agriculture, and as food-producing land falls more and more into the hands of the rich and powerful, the food supply will become more controlled. If people did not see the game plan from 2020, then they will never see it.

In 2024, Don't set new year financial goals without consulting a financial adviser. Their expertise ensures a solid plan for success. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments.
Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start. Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resources to guide beginners?
I completely understand the impact of the new year on financial decisions-it's transformative. While I've found success in investing, especially with the guidance of my advisor, Annette Christine Conte, I still appreciate the solid foundation i had. This principles align with the core values of financial discipline.

I live out in the county away from Austin, Texas. 40 years ago pasture land was $800. I paid back then $7000 for one acre to put my house on. Now land is selling for $55000. Per acre. Farms are disappeared!
That’s really sad to hear. It sounds like the surrounding Nashville farmland and acreages too. I loved the Austin area when I visited many years ago. Miles of farmland surrounding the area. I’m building in NC currently and I’m seeing the same situation there.
We should have a cap on any one individual or corporation and their proxys from owning too much land. Zero foreigners should own US farmland
Doesn’t matter. Global ag output is rising rapidly due to low cost Chinese equipment. US farmers must buy expensive US equipment. They have a higher cost basis that is now becoming uncompetitive and are being squeezed out globally.
@@marcv2648 Yup, this is why tariffs and capital controls usually end up diverting capital and talent into other jurisdictions. You gotta let the free market allocate land, labor and capital in a price sensitive, profit incentivised manner. Other waste, innefficiency and malinventment accumulate. Trust me, the "caps" on ownership will never apply to the wealthy or politically connected. Implement ownership caps and restrictions and they will apply to YOU eventually.
You're absolutely right
You just wanna make all the rules, huh? No foreigners and only farmers.
So should the us also not own land in any other country?
I would like to see this be a question at the presidential debate.
Right? I wish but they’ll talk about climate change instead
Never gonna happen. Who do you think owns the media companies that control the debates?

This is why I kept saying that Russia wont nuke Ukraine. Food and people are a form of control. Barren land isn't...

I just caught this video while I was eating breakfast. I am a farmer and your information is pretty much spot on. I’d say it was spot on, but I’m sure I’m missing something and I use your information to back up mine I’ve always wanted to be a farmer and I lived on a farm since I came home from the hospital, I have a different perspective on farming because my dad was a barn during his depression in 1919 and pretty much made sure I live through it all my life. I see people talk about depression and everything like that. I used to tell my dad, the only depression we have around here is you which was my dad he was always concerned about the situation. It’s about to happen or has happened before in the past, these events that were having today have been planned by the few people who control all the money they want to control everything. These people want to control everything being a farmer you learn how things work most important you need to know how to make it work, timing is everything. I gotta kick it. You going cross this cornfield there knowing me, knowing that I’m a farmer you have poor crops there that will not pay the rent. your environment will be lost in two years time or less. Most average age is 57 of a farmer. That means that there’s a lot of farmers in their 70s and 80s still farming and managing their land. They will pass away and most of this land will be transferred to the wealthy, other thing the land farmers have been farming for many years for other people was farmers and now that’s going to their children. The enormous wall of that land is too much for them to comprehend, and as well as other members of the family require them to sell it this land will be lost as well. Small farmer will not be able to work as, if we go with cash rent that secures the investment for Bill Gates and all the rest of these multi millionaires they’re using Crop Ins. the Crop Ins. is a great tool that is needed to support the family farm problem like every good thing like gunpowder it gets used in the wrong way. It’s only there to secure the investment for Rich. The whole idea the Crop Ins. was to help maintain farming during bad times. The farmers have no control, but if you have to pay rent cash rent, you lost your control. There is no way pay the highest rent and for a person wanting the farm. The only way to get land is the pay more rent. There is many farmers that farm 10 to 20,000 acres of land on a $20-$40 an acre margin right now they’ll be losing close to $200 and even more depending on their cash flow, a lot of these farmers have co-ops financing them or corporations controlling the whole network of farming operation so basically that farmers not growing food he’s growing a commodity to be manufactured and chicken. McNugget said McDonald’s during the 30s farmers raise food for themselves first and then sold off what they didn’t need and use that cash for other things. hope is a good thing, but if you don’t work at it has no meaning we definitely need to take the corporate America out of America in the world to free the world, so people can make their own decisions with their own efforts those who do not work will not eat there nobody left to operate this equipment. You got rid of all the small farms with families that worship God. These are the people that made America great having the ability to fix things and make things work. Self taught self learn the road of many mistakes that was overcome common sense. vote Trump with Kennedy and his background. Maybe we can stop Geo engineering which is destroying most of the farmland in the area for those who’s not aware look up Geoengineering Watch Gobal Alert News if you like what I just said, I’d be more than happy to work for the government and the department of agriculture give Donald Trump, my name and number, I want to go after the greed of corporate agriculture man’s chief concern is to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
Paragraphs are your friend - a wall of text is not.

However, I did read your comment and appreciate your pointing out about geoengineering. I have also come from a long lineage of farmers that survived the Great Depression well and fed their families just fine. Yes, it was a lot of work. But most people live in cities these days and cities don't feed themselves as they are artificial constructs. Prepping is the word.

The reason smart investors are buying farmland is because they would rather loose 20% on farmland than 40% in the stock market. They have to store their wealth somewhere and long term farmland is safer than cash, banks, stocks, etc.

Farmland, the best investment for preservation and growth of wealth. Other folks can buy bullion and other less valuable assets.
Farmland/ranch land is one of the best if not the BEST real estate investment hands down. It’s served us very well investment wise. Especially farms and ranches with excellent water and water rights.
The reason behind this bc US dollar as a reserve currency will be at risk if not already
and at some point, commodities especially food supply is going to become even more important.
Great video. Talking to some local farmers and they are losing there butt this year. Expenses 3x over income. Those that took on a lot of debit over the last couple years are going to be hurting for sure.
Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.

So the stereotype is true of Nebraska? Literally good for nothing. Besides flying over and making corn.
The value of corn didn't go up, your dollar got devalued!
value of corn isn't growing but the price of land is. crop is the passive income land is the profit.
I think it’s both
Isn't corn super subsidized in the US and not market-priced?
@jabesparker12 crops are not passive income. Exactly the opposite, actually.
My father in law and husband wanted to make an organic garden but honestly it’s too much work to do it right if you aren’t well versed in it …which is why gentleman farmers and 40 acres and a mule can’t compete with mechanized plantation farming
and water is way too expensive and loss of crops is too big to afford.
We had non GMO organic corn and lost 1/4 of the crop to pests.
We only had a family of 3 adults and the crops couldn’t support our household and diversity is limited which is why neighbors used to trade their wares
The expense is in the cost of water on the grid if you don’t own water rights -that’s why California’s water rights are locked up

Great insight on farm land, but it's nothing new that billionaires buying farm land. It's been like this ever since !
Another good reason he and others are investing in farmland is the huge footprint required to build data centers.

The only catch is that the land may have to be rezoned for that purpose.

I have seen horrible farm land that is only 40% farm able to for 25acre for 165 acres because they nieghbor didn't want anyone building.
Low interest rates has caused a massive boom in trades and tradesman in the Midwest I have seen charge $150 an hour. The cost build a house in 2019 was $95 it's now $300 a sqft land has quadrupled and people are making money hand over fist.
I have seen life long educators buy airbnb's and now all have brand new 50k cars including their kids in high school.
All of this has 1 thing in common.... cheap money and the money supply exploding.
It's starting to Crack here, we went from 2 airbnbs in the area in 2019 too about 45. They were booked during covid because everyone from large cities came here to get away from the mandates.
Travel is down 35% yoy and houses are starting to go for sale.
I love this guy. Holds polls and sticks to the results, he’ll even do the second place video too because the people wanted it. Can you please train politicians on the will of the people?!
Homes with 3-5 acres have doubled in price in North Georgia in just a matter of three years.
I inherited a small farm in northwest IL, 35 acres, in 2008 when my mom passed. I sold the farm for $5000 an acre in the spring of 2008 before the credit crises. The land value is based on yield. Yields have improved in the 70 to 90s. The current priced you state are not much higher than the 2008 values. The value will change as the yields change. I believe that can be a challenge with the GMO concerns and the concerns about processed food
Those of us who have actually grown food know how much abundance you can create with just a small effort. While I do think there are scientific methods for large scale production and "expensive equipment" for efficiency, there is less to creating abundance than you might think. Decent dirt, a few tools, some organizing and some water. People that complain about food costs and then go for food stamps and watch TV all day just floor me, they are sabotaging what could easily become their family abundance.
Most of our farmland is used to raise crops, alfalfa etc for other countries, i know, im a truckdriver and i haul alfalfa pallets to long beach harbor, from there it gpes to china and other countries
We need something to trade for all that stuff we get from China and other places.
Along with all the water they used to grow it. Today screwing the American Citizen Tax Paying Homeowners whose wells are drying up. Disgusting
Wake up America! 🇺🇸
Many farmers around me in Michigan make more money by neglecting their farmland. I’ve been seeing luxury homes popping up in the middle of farm fields.
Look into seeds! Farmers are screwed that way too.
So Bill Gates can sell us insect burgers
But it is a subscription service with updates..:)
😂
Not if no one buys his bug burgers
😂😂😂😂 good one
Remember. He didn't force anyone to sell!!
That's right. In a free market system, nobody is held at gunpoint to participate. All transactions are voluntary and consentual. The seller obviously thought the cash was more valuable than the land.
Actually, in a way a lot of farmers are forced to sell its just the government and manipulation of markets that forces them to sell
@@Boozeblues Agree. Our agro markets are far from "free" with the amount of government subsidies distorting market pricing.
Eminent Domain will be used to steal huge swaths of farm ground, to be used for alt energy and electric transmission lines.
I totally understand why the people sold to him at the same time wishing they wouldn't but I get it. If someone offered me an insane amount of money for land I can not honestly say I wouldn't take it.
My late husband and I did own some open land…our plan was to raise specialty beef and a few horses…..and some specialty crops…however he died young before we could do that..,and I found that as a woman alone it would be impossible for me to do that alone…I held on to the land for years.,but finally sold it because it was too heartbreaking to keep the land any longer…
Farms are the gold and silver of rich people. As Warren Buffett said, gold doesn't produce any value, farms do. Gold prices can crash when nobody values it. Meanwhile, farms produce value because everyone needs food. Farms are better protection against inflation than precious metals
It called food control.
One lesson I've learnt from billionaires is to always put your money to work, and diversifying your investments. I'm planning to invest about $30k of my savings in stocks this year, and I hope I make profits.
You are right. The best approach I feel is to diversify investments- by spreading investments across different asset classes like bonds, real estate, and international stocks, they can reduce the impact of a market meltdown.
That makes sense. I’ve been using a financial market expert for two years now and I own a six-figure diversified portfolio from investing in stocks. I want to diversify more this year, though.
Your advisor must be really good. How I can get in touch? My retirement portfolio's decline is a concern, and I could use some guidance.
Certainly, there are a handful of experts in the field. I've experimented with a few over the past years, but I've stuck with ‘’Vivian Jean Wilhelm” for about five years now, and her performance has been consistently impressive.She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance
Saudi Arabia also owns a sizable investment in farmland with a ton of water rights in Western Arizona, aka Colorado River water. Legislation will not stop this process as the foreign nationals will form US entities to hold the real estate with US citizen executive but controlled by the foreign nationals.
I see this all of the time in deed research traced back to private equity firms that we have no idea who they are. Guarantee some money laundering. LLCS paying cash for condos in a declining market that just doesn't make sense and reselling it less than a year later
@@TiagoLennertz scray I know for a fact they hate Americans. 20 years ARMY.
@@NS-yu6yf Exactly. LLC have to file a report of owners now with the IRS at the Federal level annually. LLCs can use registered agents at the state level but the information is now, the requirement is recent, available at the Federal level. As for the money laundering, I would speculate that it is going on but I have no proof. This investment area is not fully understood by most Americans. If they did, they would realize how much of the USA is already foreign-owned/controlled.
Yes, it's a huge bubble. Trading at 50x forward earnings vs. long-term median is 20x earnings.
Water has become strategically important as we move forward now . They are making sure they will have enough when SHTF
Great serfdom back on the plate. Let's drive up food cost so the richest can get richer.
Anyone that can afford an acre or two, buy it because you don’t want to be eating bugs . You can raise chickens and raise crops, you’ll be able to eat and know what’s in. It can be done!
Land is already too high $20k remote and 50k acre near city
@@janicemcnatt2301 it depends on where you buy and you might have move further out to get a better price and it depends on the state. Good Luck
😂😂😂🪲🐜🪳🤡🤡🤡
I live in Texas, and yes, there is a bubble in raw land. Land that just four years ago was going for $5-8K an acre (10 acres are more) is now going for $25-35K per acre. I've noticed recently that they've been cutting the prices. They can't sell the land that they were asking $35K a year ago at $23K an acre today.
I'm in North Texas, just west of the DFW metroplex.
I’ve lived in Dallas for years and I believe it’s going to turn into a California spin off. Ridiculous property taxes, inflated housing, low wages, hopefully it stays where it is and doesn’t stretch out further
@@katwmn17 OK is where I would like to move. We are in the process of selling our home. When we do, we will sit on the sidelines and buy back in when the market bottoms. That's the plan, anyway.
@@definitelynotlebronjames443 -Unfortunately, I think you're right. I have too much family here and would move to Oklahoma, northern Arkansas, or southern Missouri.
Don't forget some of these maneuvers, like owning farmland, create enormous tax breaks for these billionaires.
I live in a rule area and my dad owns farmland, but he rents it out and there’s no way you could buy farmland at the current rate and rent it out to cover any type of payments so there is a incongruency here l!Saskatchewan Canada, Facey, North Dakota
Stop waiting for the government to give job opportunities which are wasting much of your time when you can invest in digital marketing and live your dream life.
I sympathize with many people who had no knowledge digital marketing because currently dollar is unstable and coin is taking over to be universal currency.
However, working with a qualified financial advisor can help you make informed investment decisions and increase your chances of achieving your financial goals.
An investment is a plan to put money to work today to obtain a greater amount of money in the future. It is also the primary way people save for major purchases or retirement. With stocks, bonds, real estate, or commodities, individuals can create a diversified portfolio.
Protecting your capital is paramount. Losing your capital makes it much harder to make money, so prioritize preservation over growth. Remember, there are many investment opportunities (trains), but losing your money means missing the entire journey.
However, collaborating with a seasoned financial advisor can empower you to make informed, strategic investment decisions, ultimately enhancing your prospects of realizing your financial aspirations and securing a brighter financial future.
Why one person is buying the whole earth ? Take his fuking money away.
Control the land. Control the food.
Its already in affect. Just go to the grocery store.
This. Mars lays and McDonald’s own us
@@DevHazyonly if we consume that crap. Not a good idea
In Texas you won't find any land in smaller plots less than 20K an acre and land with in 45 min of large city is 50K per acre. Only desert land costs under 3K per acre.
I got mine for less than 3k an acre in East Texas, but that was in 2021
Excellent report, Nick!
Farmland went up for the same reason houses went up. The Fed suppressing rates down to historically low rates for the last 15 years. And when COVID hit they lowered rates even further. It's the same reason why home prices are what they are. And now most people can't afford these prices.
Not a matter of “suppressing rates.” Interest rates are raised later as part of the boom and bust cycle. The problem is debt monetization which creates new currency to dilute the value of existing dollars.
One of the reasons that extremely wealthy people are buying farmland is because of the VOLUME of land available to buy. For example, a billionaire can't put billions of dollars into Tesla or NVidia stock without driving prices higher, let alone buying up much smaller companies. It also represents a good diversifier relative to billionaires' shares of global stocks. I really don't think it's that nefarious.
This guy is a clickbait artist. If he had the means he'd be doing the same thing.
Aristocracy of the Middle Ages basically owned the farmland.
We seem to be headed toward a neo-feudalism in the US. America was supposed to be a republic of thriving small businessmen and yeoman farmers.
@@benqurayza7872you can’t be a superpower like thsy. Too inefficient
The number one reason why they are buying land is because Ag land is 100% gov backed via the bloated farm bill.
There ought to be a limit on how much one person and one compay can own. And, definitely no foreign owned real estate in America (farmland, dwellings, etc.) !!!
Billionaires don't know that land has decades of fertilizer salt build up and compaction😂. The whole system needs to be redone🎉
They dont care if the build a data center on it?
Maybe that should be brought up in the debates. Is USDA giving grants for farmland?
More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
How can I reach this person?
‘’Aileen Gertrude Tippy’’ is her name. She is regarded as a genius in her area and works for Empower Financial Services. She’s quite known in her field, look-her up.
I checked Aileen up out of curiosity and i must say i am impressed by her Credentials. i emailed her already, waiting on her response.
Great video!

We all have a bill gates problem…
A house isn't the best investment, considering the state of the economy right now. After selling my Boca Grande house, I want to put $200K into stocks because they can still increase in value during difficult times. Do you have any great ideas for stocks?
The truth is that if you make the right picks, you could make killer riches very quickly, although such profit usually needs expertise, as in hedge funds or financial managers. I personally prefer the latter.
Working with a financial advisor has been a game-changer for me. They provided invaluable insights and tailored strategies that aligned perfectly with my risk tolerance and financial objectives. With their support, I've seen significant growth in my investments and gained confidence in my financial future.
Can you share details of your advisor? I want to invest my increased cash flow in stocks and alternative assets to achieve financial goals.
Melissa Terri Swayne is the licensed advisor I use. Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
I searched for her name on the internet, found her page, and reached out via email to schedule a conversation. Thank you.
Never trust gates 💉
They say the Chinese are also buying a lot of land. In most countries in Europe foreigners are not allowed to purchase land.
Great Show
