My friends in the cattle industry told me that one of Bill Gates’s companies is buying up pasture land and driving up prices across the midwest, too. I don’t know exactly how you’d legally prevent it, but it does seem like a problem.
In fairness to Bill Gates, buying a ton of pasture land seems like a reasonable step to diversify his fortune. It's hard to find enough non-tech places to stash that much money.
