Why does Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft own 600 acres of Iowa farmland? As an agricultural state that takes a lot of pride in our state's farmland, it may seem suspicious, says Peter Jaques, formerly of Farmland Finder, but there are a few good reasons. Should Iowans take farmland more seriously? 

There are a few conspiracy theories as to why Gates is buying so much farmland. Some believe he is trying to control and manipulate the United States' food sources. Others say he is trying to manipulate the food market. There are also theories he is trying to move the United States away from beef towards plant-based diets.
