Bill Gates is the largest private farmland owner in the US — and according to a new report from NBC, potatoes that make McDonald’s fries grow in his fields.
Citing data by The Land Report and its own research, NBC said that potatoes for McDonald’s fries are grown in fields in Washington state that are so vast that you can see them from space.
Gates owns 269,000 acres of farmland across 18 states, according to updated numbers from NBC, making him America’s biggest owner of private farmland.
