Mass starvation has never been an issue from lack of production (since the industrial revolution). It has always been a geopolitical issue. Meaning war, corruption etc have been the causes of starvation. India saw a severe drought in 1979-1980 and faced a severe food shortage. They CHOSE not to import food stocks. Why? Because the elites who ran the country felt it was beneficial to them to let millions starve rather than part with dollars to buy food. It's not like there was a world food shortage at the time. In fact, that time period saw extremely depressed grain prices in the US because of over production and lack of markets. It was such an over abundance of production in the 80's that the CRP program was started. The Cropland Reserve Program (CRP) is a program that continues today. It essentially removes acres from production for 10 year via contracts with the Federal Government.
All the data available says you're wrong but go ahead and stay in the second group.
Expand your question? I'm sure many different people or businesses buy farmland.

Why are you worried about this?Bill Gates is the biggest private owner of farmland in the United States. Why? | Nick Estes
Gates has been buying land like it’s going out of style. He now owns more farmland than my entire Native American nation

Expropriate China-Owned Farmland in America
China's regime is seeking control of American assets, and its intentions look malign.
Bill Gates and China
They are almost as bad as the outright liars , huh ?
Best buy with cheap financing is usually real estate. Great place for cash in the face of inflationary instability and sketchy stock markets, provided you can buy right
I really have learned to hate these people. They make it too easy.
Gates owns .00027% of US farmland. He rents his land to local farmers. He really isn't controlling any food production.
Investment funds are subject to ESG manipulation. That IS scary.
That info does not match what you hear electric car owners espousing. I hear charging is 45-60 cents per KWH. Assuming the 60 cents, most cars get at least 3 miles per KWH so that is a cost of 20 cents per mile. Current fuel is real close to same price.however charging at home for 12 cents per KWH, and your looking at 1/5 that costs so around 4 cents per mile.

Yeah, it's likely a super charger that takes a few minutes to charge, not 8 hrs.

That Meme About the Cost of Charging an Electric Car Is Hilariously Wrong
No, an F-350 towing a horse trailer isn't cheaper to run than an electric car. Here's the math to prove it.
Here's my response to the fact check:
Seriously? This clown fact checks a MEME and then cries that the MEME exaggerates the point!?! Oh you should see my shocked face!
So let's consider what the fact check turned up:
The verdict? 3.59 hours — or 3 hours and 36 minutes to most humans. That’s less than half of what our sensationally misleading meme claims. At Electrify America’s $0.32-per-minute rate, that comes out to $68.93 for a full charge. With the Hummer’s claimed 320-mile range, that’s a mere $0.225 per mile — for our absolute, nearly impossible, worst-case scenario.
Just for kicks, a Ford Super Duty seems to average around 10 to 11 mpg while towing a heavy trailer. In Texas, the current average fuel price for 87 octane is $3.855 per gallon. That’s $0.35 per mile, more expensive than our hypothetically cursed electron-guzzling EV.
So, instead of eight hours it will only take three and a half hours to charge the EV. Wow what a relief. I hope the charging station has a good restaurant I can kill that time in.
And the Fact Checker shows that it would only cost $70 to get this charge not $154. This would allow the EV to go 320 miles according to the fact checker.
My 160,000 mile 4WD Ford Explorer gets 20 mpg mixed city/highway driving and has an 18 gallon tank. So with gas at $4.40 per gallon It would cost me $79 to fill my tank from empty. I could drive at least 360 miles on that $79 tank of gas. That comes out to $0.22 per mile.
And a $4.40 gas price is artificially inflated by at least one dollar per gallon by Biden's policies. If gas was at $2.50 per gallon my per mile cost would be a little over HALF what the fact checker claimed for his EV. And I could fill my tank up in less then 5 minutes!
I watched a video of some guys testing the lightning against an F150. Both were towing the same camper and both took the same road trip of 300 miles. The lightning made it 170 miles before needing to recharge. The F150 was on E on arrival but it made it there. They liked how the Lightning handled the tow but range was a big problem. Recharge time is a big issue as well on long trips.
Does this clarify anything? That's farmland being discarded.

When the battery powering the vehicle goes bad it's over. You're not selling that vehicle. Who would purchase an older vehicle with that possibility on the horizon?
Cars will become more disposable than ever.
If these goddamn Democrat pseudo-Greenie Neo-Marxists had a scrap of integrity, they would be pushing hard for net metering and the necessary infrastructure for any American that wanted to install solar panels on their property. We could actually cut fossil fuel generation and thrive at the same time. These people are all about controlling supply and creating misery
