yeehaw and let’s dive in the controversy
over bill gates becoming the largest
private farmland owner in the united
states so the gates have acquired more
than
269 000 acres of farmland in the united
states in the past 10 years now those
purchases made with the help of the
washington-based firm cascade investment
and a number of shell companies include
farmland in nearly 20 states that
cultivate vegetables carrots soybeans
potatoes and some of which end up in
mcdonald’s french fries so when you’re
eating those mcdonald’s french fries
bill gates actually owns the land of
which those potatoes are created on now
this has caused a lot of controversy for
many reasons some people are saying he
who owns the land owns the food supply
has the power over the entire world and
it seems like bill gates does have a lot
of this farmland right now so that’s the
first major controversy the second major
controversy if with these billionaires
buying up all this farmland how will
this impact the market for actually
traditional farmers trying to buy a farm
and actually use it for actually farming
purposes so that’s the second major
controversy with bill gates but he’s not
the only billionaire bangla farmland
many other large financial firms have
sought to purchase agricultural land too
even if they have no involvement in the
day-to-day farming operation and i also
saw a recent interview where the
chairman of interactive brokers also has
been investing into a heap load of
farmland and of course he must be a
great investor other controversial
headlines have called bill gates
ownership of this vast amount of
farmland his empire of dirt i’d love to
hear your thoughts guys so please do
comment below do you think it’s a good
thing or a bad thing bill gates and
billionaires are buying up this farmland
or do you think it won’t really make
much difference to the day-to-day
operations of many of these farms and
the food supply of which we all love and
use now what’s interesting enough is
bill gates investment firm is also a
shareholder in plant-based protein
companies such as beyond meat which i’ve
covered many times on this channel and
impossible foods as well as agricultural
equipment maker john deere so it’s clear
bill gates is quite heavily involved in
the farming industry and we know that
bill gates is a great friend of the
great warren buffett and warren buffett
in almost every interview is always
talking about how great farmland is or
using it as some sort of analogy to see
how farmland is a good investment
compared to many other speculative
investments this could be cryptocurrency
even this could be gold warren buffett
loves farmland understand what you buy
now if you buy a farm you look at you
look at the farm and you say i expect to
get so many bushels per acre of corn or
soybeans and you figure out how much
that’ll be worth and then you figure out
what the price should be thus it’s clear
warren buffett loves farmland and
there’s good reason for this firstly
farmland is a productive asset and that
it actually produces food which
everybody needs secondly farmland is a
scarce resource as the old saying goes
by land because god isn’t making any
more of it price tends to increase over
time which is exactly what’s happened
with farmland over the last 20 years the
price of farmland per acre in the united
states has risen by an average of four
point five percent per year to four
thousand four hundred and forty two
dollars per acre we go back to 1997 the
price per acre farmland in the us was
1713 dollars per acre flash forward to
2020 4
442 per acre now getting that consistent
nearly five percent return each and
every year on a really stable asset like
farmland is a great investing
opportunity but this effect is amplified
on smaller markets where land is more
valuable if we take the uk for example
uk farmland prices have grown 17 400
percent since the 1930s so if we rewind
back to the 1930s the average price of
bear farmland in the uk was only 40
pounds per acre now this is a figure
which has since surged by 17 400 percent
to 7 000 pounds per acre during the
first quarter of
2021 so you can see even in countries
like the uk farmland is an amazingly
valuable asset if you guys have found
value so far in this video feel free to

warren buffett’s secret son
howard buffett how warren buffett’s son
would feed the world so this is howard
buffett here warren buffett’s son and
yes he’s a real life farmer now this is
no bs guys and you’re probably thinking
okay why is warren buffett’s son working
on a farm when his father is one of the
richest people on the planet once howard
settled on farming warren bought land
for him but then made his son pay rent
and tied it to his body weight
so if you gain weight your rent goes up
and if you lose weight the rent goes
down it’s something like that financial
incentives are supposed to work in some
things they don’t work very well in
weight incidentally but why wouldn’t you
just give your son a farm
well i just don’t think that’s the you
know the way to bring up a son i mean i
don’t think i don’t think he’s entitled
to be given a farm just because his last
name is buffett so he’s tied the rent to
the farm to his son’s weight now it’s
clear warren buffett is just an
exceptional businessman okay so what are
four ways to invest into farmland well
i’m gonna hop in right here guys and
display them to you right now so the
first we’ll hop into right here is farm
reits so a farming focus reit is a real
estate investment trust now some
examples include farmland partners
incorporated fpi and gladstone land
corporation with the ticker land l-a-n-d
second method of investing into farmland
without owning a farm is to invest
directly into crop production via
agricultural stock so you could invest
in stocks like fresh del monte produce
okay so the third way of investing into
farmland without owning a farm is to
invest into an agricultural etf or
exchange traded fund and a great example
of this is the market vectors agree
business etf with the ticker symbol
m-o-o or moo which obviously stands for
the cow
however the best-performing agricultural
commodity etf based on performance over
2020 is the tucrium soya bean etf with
the ticker s o y b or soy b now this is
just a personal theory on this but i
believe that performance was actually
increased because soybeans in actual
produce is becoming immensely more
popular if you look at most plant-based
alternatives to meat they actually
contain soya this could be plant-based
sausages plant-based burgers this could
be just tofu it all contains soya beans
so it clear soybeans are becoming a lot
more popular as plant-based diets are
also becoming a lot more popular and the
fourth and final way of investing into
farmland indirectly is to invest
directly into soft commodities so you
could invest into corn you could invest
into livestock you can invest into
grains cocoa and much much more a great
etf which covers many of these
commodities is the investico db
agricultural etf with a ticker dba and
this invests into corn wheat soybeans
and sugar future contract so it’s clear
you can be like bill gates too and also
invest into farmland but remember guys
this is not financial advice and
