Farms In The U.S With The LARGEST Acreage.. 

He gets 0.01% of all income

There’s so many lies on this page

I literally clicked on this because of Jeremy Clarkson

Hes chillin drinkin bud light

Yeah the channel needs to be shut down

You mean corpeations

That is the absolute most important question here!! - Keep ALL the acres, on local hands! ! !

What

@@xythiera7255nope china

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I hope to get to 100 acs. one day. Currently, it's a little less than 3 acs.

Volunteers in a Corporation, how does that work ?

They don’t, it’s split into smaller plots that are managed by more people

You’re comparing a station to a farm. These are crop farms. A station is comparable to what the us calls a ranch. Which there are a few just shy of a million acres.

A station isn't the same thing as a farm

@@seregill13 no kidding. That’s the whole point

Yeah john niccoletti thinks 100,000 acres is cute

@@shaun469 He sold his land to a Saudi investment company

Anna Creek is actually 5.85m acres. Still not the largest owned property, although it's not farmland, Gina Rinehart owns 1.2% of Australian land

And I thought everything was bigger in Texas.

@johnblyth9787 This video is talking about farms you are talking about ranches. King Ranch in southeastern Texas is approximately 825,000 acres (333,800 hectares). But a lot of ranchers in the USA have their animals graze on federal land. Livestock grazing takes place on 155 million acres of public land, about 25% of the nation's public land. The BLM (Bureau of Land Management) administers nearly 18,000 permits and leases to ranchers, who must pay a fee based on how much forage an animal requires for one month, called AUM (Animal Unit Month).

and still are not even in the top 10 biggest farm producers in the world. Doesn't make sense, the top 5 are in the region of the 500+ billion USD, but from top 6 to 10 are just smaller producers below 100 billion a year. Still no signs of Australia.

They seem to be talking about actual farming, tilling the land and growing crops. If you look at rangeland and ranching the totals are much greater. Look up Ted Turner and the Mormon Church.

@Hello how are you doing?

Between the two options, I would say apprenticeship is better to help you determine if you actually want to do this. I don't think apprenticeshipd are normal in farming. You could achieve the same discernment by working on a avocado orchard. Having grownup on a small farm (chickens, cattle, sorghum, corn, pecans), let me assure you it is not much like the romanticized ideal that people often have who have never farmed. Sometimes, there are great and satisfying days...though usually it is more like the end of the day! A lot of times, you will labor in conditions too hot, too cold, too dusty, top itchy, too wet for your comfort. Then you will have to deal with all sorts of pests ..from hornets to snakes to painful fire ants (can be destructive to produce and deadly to humans on swarms) to plant diseases. If you own and operate the orchard by yourself or with a small circle of family or friends, you have the ever present concern of even surviving financially (crop insurance can help, but cuts into your possible profits) Working on a orchard for a year will enlighten you as to whether you will love it or hate it. If you are Already wealthy and you would just own an orchard and hire the labor, than a degree like you mentioned would be helpful. But you still should have some practical work experience on an orchard to make your best decision!

Dude, you can get all the education you need on RU-vid. Avocados require the proper climate. You'll be competing with Mexico. Good luck.

Africa is key!@@JamesG1126

Thanks for the suggestion. I hope to do an apprenticeship in New Zealand where I could learn and take advantage of their great economy and save money. What do you think?@@donaldberger9163

I have observed on a bus trip from southwest Texas to Houston to Indianapolis, Indiana, that I was never more than about 100 yards from a tree for the whole trip... probably about 1500 miles!

More trees than in 1492? No way.

its not farm land

He owns it as an investment. Most of it leased out to local farmers. So it's divided up among a few dozen farms.

​@@louispaparella5766sure is

​@@42base13but he is still the owner right

He doesn’t actually farm it, just rents it out I believe

The biggest farmer was 190,000ac

You stole my Thunder but we are both Aussies cheers 👍🦘🇦🇺

I work on a Jumbuck Pastoral cattle station up in NT at the moment it's only 1.3 million acres and all I can think about is bloody American land is some small that's just fucking beginner levels for Aussie properties.

Yeah but their land is mostly shit. They need hundreds of thousands of acres as it’s barren waste land.

Anna Creek Station in SA is 2.4 Million Acres. Australia has 8 of 10 largest farms in world.

@@johnblyth9787 last time i worked on anna creek station i think in the early 2000's it was just over 5 million acres. have they sold a bunch of land

​@@ridingwithjack2037no, we just have people

its ranch land, not farm land

Aussies stole the land from the natives.

Tillable acres

who wants to live in australia though

anything over a few thousand is just greed.... guess they will take it with them when they die

Atleast we didn't destroy a rainforest for it

@@universenerdd just check how much the USA pollutes the world, and compare that with Brazil! We are hundred times cleaner than the USA. Just shut up and start paying to preserve the rain forests! Also most land for farming does not come from rain forests, and our farmers in the Amazon basin have 50% of their land as natural reserves by law! Amazon basin is not the same as Amazon forest!

@@universenerdd?

@@universenerddno one destroyed a rainforest lol

It depends! If you are doing it by yourself (and/or your immediate family) and make your living off of it and your equipment is pretty used, you better be really fit and no chronic illness. You will be lifting heavy, performing strenuous repetitive physical activity often, Working long hours, worrying about many variables every day. There are very few days off ( mainly if it is very rainy or icy/snowy..then you are still having to do repairs or work on the books!) If you are already a rich dude, own many acres, much newish equipment, and have many employees, than you are more of a CEO like in a skyscraper office (but you'll spend a few hours daily in your pickup truck checking on aspects of the operation and running errands) and just have to be fit enough to think clearly and make good management decisions. I would say most farmers have been pretty fit throughout our first 200 years in the USA. Nowadays though, with Air-conditioned cabs and video screens in tractors, and combines, probably less so. Many days, long hours (like 12- 14 or 16) need to be put in to ensure One can make payment on millions of dollars of equipment...very stressful even with the hi tech "Toys!" One would almost have to make time to do some cardio or enjoyable physical activity to keep going for decades.

​@donaldberger9163 I grew up on a corn, soybean and hog farm in the 80s and 90s. Hogs by far require the most work, espically in those days. Nothing was automated and the physical demand is very high. Same would go for vegetable gardening. Row crop is the easiest farming now that it's all automated.

Yeah, only time they remember is when they write the check out for property taxes to the county. Hahaha

🤡

@Hello how are you doing?

​@@dorisjudith728I agree e with you 00.. I had a senior colleague at work who was doing well but never had an investment. Unfortunately he lost his job and went from living a comfortable life to hardship. There would had been something to fall back on if he had an investment

NOBODY Became MILLIONAIRE OR BILLIONAIRE BY WORKING FOR OTHERS AND DEPENDING ON THEM, GOOD INVESTMENT BRINGS MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND CONSISTENCY BRINGS BILLIONS. THE MARKET IS ALL ABOUT CRYPTO NOW YOU MIGHT WANT TO LOOK INTO IT

​@@kennethmatthew1925yeah that's why I love trading Actually I trade with Mrs Aliyah fx Jessica I don't know if you know her?

With the consistent weekly profits I'm getting investing with aliyah fx Jessica there's no doubt, she is the most reliable in the market, such a genius.

The small family farms build good character in kids also. Work ethic, empathy, loyalty, teamwork, sacrifice for others, delayed gratification, responsibility, respect or yourself and authority,, satisfaction of accomplishment. These traits were integral in making America the world's superpower in the twentieth century. You see hardly anything like this in the inner city hoods today and it really shows.

Thankfully there are still a lot of family farms here in my area. Biggest operation in our area is about 12,000ac. Grounds going for about $15,000/ac.

These family farms are no different 1000 acres is never a family farm A real family farm will never exceed 100 acres

don't kid yourself.

A January 2023 article in popular mechanics said Bill Gates owns 270,000 acres of land.

I'm pretty sure he will have found a way to keep his assets away from prying eyes and auditors, via umbrella companies or some such methodology. Difference between him and these folks, is that farming is in their blood and a generational thing, whereas with Bill Gates, it's a dead cert that he has quite nefarious plans in store for his use of the land he has bought. As with time, land is something that isn't made anymore, so it's an extremely valuable asset, whose worth can but only increase.

Off it, Gates bought a ton of land in North Dakota in 2022

@@RRRIBEYE Ted Turner has 2m acres... John Malone has 2.2m .. Bill Gates is catching up but has only 270k acres....so 1/8th the size/ or 12% ...of the other 2 .

No problem, you just stop eating, and problem solved...

@@hunthomasjr I don' need americans to eat

No, we need more small family farms not these giant corporate farming conglomerates

@@biochem6yep

Believe it or not, this is because of the "Civil" war. Lincoln ushered in unfettered power by the DC government and they held on to most of the land out west, instead of it going to the individual states.

Are you joking? Every single American could easily own 17 acres each. Only one in 100 people farm tho, so they get 1700 per person.

If you are looking to make the US median family income, you would probably need to farm (i.e. grow crops) on about 500 acres, assuming your million (or millions) of dollars in equipment loans are close to paid off AND you know what you are doing. It of course varies with the soil quality and the expertise of the farmer and often just plain good luck with the weather! When you think of "rich" farmers, that is more like corporate agriculture like ADM. Although I have heard that most of Nebraska's farmland is split up by only about 10 families (who would be rich, I guess...but NOT by Silicon Valley or NYC Fortune 500 CEO standards)!

You must not own anything?

You would fit right in in China or Russia.

​@@jeffb321more than enough

crop farm vs ranch

The US is a ranch ?

Are you sure? At today's prices that would be something like US $50 billion to maybe $600 billion, depending on location and type of land! Don't think even Ted had that kinda money!

@@donaldberger9163 Hi Donald thanks for your reply. Yes you are right . I may have added one too many zero's on to Teds land holdings. I would rather have his America's Cup than his land and Buffalo though.

@@donaldberger9163 Ted Turner owns 2-3 million acres, not 33 million. And most of it is ranchland, not cropland. I know that some of the first ranches that he bought were less than $500/acre.

@@42base13 Thanks 42base13. That perhaps brings it to around US $10 billion give or take $5 billion. Still an amazingly large holding!

Chinese folks don't even control that much

It should be illegal for bill gates to buy any farm land from the Chinese

For the Chinese

The Chinese control a small portion of land divided up among 1000 people. No Chinese man could make the list

He’s a satan!

He can't pronounce Simplot correctly either.

Indeed! I've been watching Jack Out The Back and he has a mere 440,000 hectares. Just 1,087,264 acres all by himself! And that is just a little one. The Rinehart organisation controls over 9 million hectares, 22,748,820 acres. We usually don't measure in hectares or acres because the numbers are so big; we measure in square kilometres. So Rinehart's holding is 92,061 square kilometres, bigger than some countries. Anna Creek Station is the largest single 'farm' in Australia measuring in at 23,677 square kilometres.

Do you farm?

Yes I do and have 25 yrs in the industry both professional and private.

@@ericmyers8005 then why do you hate on farmland? Just asking

@@universenerdd I don't hate farmland. Most of the farmland is being used for other things than farming. They are selling land to big corporations that take it out of production so we are losing the land to feed our communities.

@@ericmyers8005 ahh i understand. Respect to you for feeding our country!

Brazilians need to stop farming. This isn't a flex, it's depressing

That will probably besoon destroyed by the current Socialist in Charge (Lula?) Unless they are the power behind his administration!

Communists don't believe in private property.
