This graph is confusing because there are state lines drawn underneath, but it’s not saying by state.
Can't figure out why the 100 largest landowning families aren't using their land for any of the other reasons. Surely some of them are having it farmed for them too?
OIL. There's a LOT of land that might be considered cow/grazing but won't really grow anything worth it. See West Texas.
Swamps don't make good farms, but some people try to farm in FL, it's just inefficient and heavily pollutes or eliminates wetlands
How nice for the Reed family/Green Diamond to be split into 'private family owned timberland' and 'corporate timberland'.
Do we not eat any of the cows?
Vegans and ecologists have been talking about this exact issue for a while now
literally decades. lots of talk around the conditions that bring new pandemics too.
if its alafalfa, i think alot of farm land are, its usually exported to the Middle east.

hugging the west coast, there are tons of cow farms, and a small part of cali is for the military, SEAL training.
and somebody owns every square inch of it.
God I miss living in the west.
This makes my eyes bleed
is Alaska included? or are we just ignored because of our small population?
