I agree that this is interesting. Sure, wealthy people typically have diverse portfolios but normally their large investments stick to their bread and butter (tech, obviously, in Gates' case). John Deere and farmland is basically the opposite of Microsoft. It could be 100 percent harmless but as people have diligently pointed out throughout time, if you control food you control people. It's even more relevant now that 99 percent of people are reliant on a vague food source somewhere that is delivered to us somehow. If the food from the majority of farmland along with access to machines to farm what land we did have was suddenly denied because of something you did or believed what would you do? Most people would rabble rabble and then consent to whatever they demand.
