Looks like the LDS has stiff competition in the (farm)land grabbing stakes. On the plus side they could hold out til he raises his bidding price.

Is Bill Gates completely transparent in owning all this land (instead of putting it in a shell corp,?

That's incredible and borderline naive or irresponsible to his family.

Based on the graphic, we have no idea whether he is being transparent, or for that matter, we have no idea if the graphic is even correct in its claims of ownership.

So on what basis exactly did you decide he is being transparent about ownership, or that he actually owns the land that whoever created that graphic claims he owns?

FWIW, the median wheat farm in western ND is around three thousand acres, about 4.5 square miles. LDS Inc bought the Deseret Ranch in Florida in the 1950s, and it is still the largest cattle ranch in the US at 300,000 acres. That's just one of LDS Inc's ranches or farms. They have many other smaller holdings, including substantial land in Nebraska.

The cult owns at least 100K acres of prime ranchland in Alberta plus other agricultural land holdings plus more in BC.

Riddle me this: what do land purchases in Nebraska have to do with the War on Cash in Venezuela?

From what I have read, Cascade Investments LLC is the primary land owner as a shell Corp. of Gates’. There are other Cascade subsidiaries that are also landowners on behalf of Mr. Gates.

Somehow, I trust Bill Gates for himself, his family, & the rest of humanity.

I'd much rather see him making policy decisions & actions about investments than ChurchCo...
