Is Jeremy Clarkson aware of the clickbait picture in the thumb?
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
Glad to see these farms are owned by families and not Chinese corporations. I myself just bought the farm next door and we increased our acreage by 100%. I now have 20 acres🤠
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.
The Offutt Family were instrumental in the Farm Rescue Program out of Jamestown, ND. A fantastic program to help farmers truly in need. Farm Rescue serves over 10 states now and does it all with a staff under 20+/- people and an army of volunteers..... God Bless Em Alll.....
Volunteers in a Corporation, how does that work ?
To answer your question. No, I was not aware, that there families owned all of the farmland, that your video showed. I am glad to see that the hard work of these families, pain off for them.
It's great that harvesting is now easier than ever
When he said that all the land adds up to around 1 million acres all I can think is that's beginner level because the average station in Australia is usually over 1 million acres easy but the smaller farms are usually only small something like 10,000 acres that's a full-time property and full-time workers but if your closer to the city which a lot people are a hobby farm is close 500 acres, its weird how America has some much land that would be so good for grazing and growing crops but there are some many people over there.
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
There was Scully land rented in Marion County, Kansas. One section was across the road from my farm.
How impressive it is that they manage such a large area of land so well
They don’t, it’s split into smaller plots that are managed by more people
These are large back yards for a house. Look up 10 largest farms in Australia. Smallest 1.2 Million Acres. Largest Anna Creek Station, over 2.4 Million Acres. To put it in perspective, Australia has 8 of 10 largest farms in world. Look up also Cubby Station. Over 200,000 Acres. Grower of cotton. Largest irrigated farm in southern hemisphere. They have their own Cotton Gin on the farm. The water rights are so huge, one year they made more money selling water to other farms, than they would growing cotton.
And Australia is a baby in age and population, compared to USA. So there you have it
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.
Owning land is amazing and owning a tractor is a bonus 👌🏼 it’s a therapy but unless you own a huge land there is no money in farming up to 10 acres well in my country anyway because we have no grants or subsidies as we’re not in EU
I have a massive 8.4 acres!!! It's about all I can keep up with.
Blaine Larsen went broke 5 years ago, and that picture of his brother.....is not his brother.
I work for R.D. Offutt Farms, on one of the many farms they own. They are the worlds biggest potato producers... and its pronounce more like Off-it not off-oot. 😉
1.25million acres is about 2000 square mile. Think of an area like 40 miles by 50 miles. That would be significantly larger than our state of Rhode Island!
The biggest farmer was 190,000ac
I'd like to start up my own avocado orchard but don't know where to start and know nothing about farming. Do you think I should study an agricultural degree like agricultural science, agronomy etc or seek out an apprenticeship? How did you get started?
I'd appreciate any advice you can give.
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 UA-cam. 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
Australia we measure the outback farms in KM squared Lots are 1000 KM plus
You stole my Thunder but we are both Aussies cheers 👍🦘🇦🇺
Bill Gates has over 250,000 acres. How did he not make the list?
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
We only have 12 acres and our biggest tractor is a John deere 70
Agricultural machines are amazing
beautiful
Testament to what can be achieved if you bought land 100 years ago.
Much of America is NOT "covered in farmland". Most of our country is still wild. We have more trees today than there were in 1492 (because of improper forest fire management).
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.
80 acres in Tennessee. Wife and I want to do some small ag, but nothing huge
First family..guy is not jack Simplot..name is John Richard Simplot..only if you have wrong picture int he video..cheers
How does the king ranch fit in?
its ranch land, not farm land
3:50 - a 10 litre watering can in thousands of acres. Riiiiight
My family use to own a farm for decades, everyone helped out including Mexicans who lived in a trailer park near by. When I was a kid I thought it was what I would do for ever but it eventually fell apart.
Wow
Blairo Maggi from Brazil is the biggest one from all over the world
@Hello how are you doing?
Was hoping for Jeremy Clarkson to be touring a American farm what I got was stock footage with robot voice

Wonderful , i am interested in buying farm land.
Thsnk you for your video which was an interesting watch. I know that you have to be a bit clickbaity to get people to watch but you say to watch if "you're interested who owns much of Americas land". The Federal Government owns over 600 million acres, nearly a third of the country and about 400 times the total of what you list. Even if you limit yourself to farmland, the list you have compiled is just over 0.1% of Americas farmland.
Aussie cattle farm are far bigger even 100,000 aces is class tiny ..So do go check how big the Aussie cattle station are as thay use Heli an airplane to close there povt
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

Simplot is pronounced Sim Plot. Not Plit.
Tiny. Go to Aus. Anna Creek station = 5,851,000 acres. (Bigger than Israel)
Had to do a double take on Larsen Farms, is not Larson Farms here on youtube.
Well these seem to be amateurs comparing them to the Brazilian big farms. Check Bom Futuro, Amaggi and Grupo Scheffer, all from the Scheffer-Maggi family. They farm together close to 3,000,000 acres.
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
Eight minutes and I still haven't seen Jeremy Clarkson
All off those farms are small compared to Australia smallest farms/ stations
Aussies stole the land from the natives.
1.25 mil that's cute hava look at the Anna Creek station that's real acreage mate
As big as they are they are still subsidize by the taxpayers
At least there is an irish man in it
I wonder how physically fit you have to be to run a farm.
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.
How many family farms are left? It's all big companies now. I rather see 50 family farms rather then 1 big company farm
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
Million acres isn’t that much amongst 8 families. We have farm here in australia over 5 million owned by one person. There’s a few families that own 100s of 1000s acres
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
Did anyone else click for Jeremy Clarkson in the thumbnail?
Never ask someone how much land they own.
Yeah, only time they remember is when they write the check out for property taxes to the county. Hahaha
🤡
@Hello how are you doing?
Farming is anything but ordinary.
Unfortunately people do very well in farming and become greedy. How much is enough for one man, family 10 acre 100 acre 1000 acre 10000 acre ? Most people don't even own a lawn .. be content and do your best for your family and neighbours...
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
Mi dad has gust over a hondred akers
Hopefully none of these mega farms are subsidized by the American taxpayer because these farms do not need subsidies.....The US government should not be a business partner with wealthy entities.
glad to hear Bill Gates is not one of the top ten.
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 .
These families combined are dwarfed by this: "The federal government owns around 620 million acres of land (about 27 percent) of the 2.27 billion acres of land in the United States. Around 92 percent of federally owned acres are in 12 Western states.[1][2]
Four federal agencies-the U.S. National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), and U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) within the U.S. Department of the Interior, and the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) in the U.S. Department of Agriculture-oversee roughly 95 percent, or 608 to 610 million acres, of federal land.[1][2]"
Exerpt from a site exploring the constitutional side of federalland owning: "* As for acreage (“other Property”) within state boundaries: Under the Necessary and Proper Clause, the federal government may acquire and retain land necessary for carrying out its enumerated powers. This includes parcels for military bases, post offices, buildings to house federal employees undertaking enumerated functions, and the like. It is not necessary to form federal enclaves for these purposes.
* But within state boundaries the Constitution grants no authority to retain acreage for unenumerated purposes, such as land for grazing, mineral development, agriculture, forests, or parks."
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.
I enter for jeremy,clickbite,this is first and last video i enter on your channel
That wasn’t larson farms sorry since there in a totally different state in America and they use to be pig farms not a potato farmer

come to canada you are hoby farmes
scam! there is no clarkson
Still small compared to oz. I remember being there 30 years ago and one farm was the size of texas. Just one farm !!
crop farm vs ranch
The US is a ranch ?
Ted Turner, owns or owned 33 million acres.
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!

What about Bill Gates?
Don’t know how old this info is but I seen somewhere Bill Gates owns over a million acres and has the McDonald’s contracts?🤨🧐🧐
He’s a satan!
well i own a very small land compared to this giants i own 7 acre land.
Too many trigger words used. Empires? Really?
They were pretty crap looking tomatoes sorry to say
Kind of clickbait...
American farms are small compared to Australian farms especially Australian cattle stations
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.
Believe it or not this is nothing compared to modern day Brazil.
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!
THE CHINESE......GO LOOK IT UP
Chinese folks don't even control that much
You can't pronounce Offutt correctly, I'm curious how many other facts you have incorrect . I live in southern RRV and know better.
He can't pronounce Simplot correctly either.
You forgot China and Bill gates.
Now do bill gates and the Chinese.
The Chinese control a small portion of land divided up among 1000 people. No Chinese man could make the list
What of bill gates family?
It’s amazing how inaccurate this video is. There is no way anyone did any research at all. Larson Farms are corn, soybean and black beans farmers. They are also in Minnesota. Definitely not potato farmers nor are they in Idaho. 👎
Oh come on true success requires just a pinch of sociopolitical behavior amidst displays of public alturism. Its pretty mean face.
Greed
