"Grow Baby Grow" — the 3 words that sent shockwaves through Davos.
Treasury Secretary Bessent and Commerce Secretary Lutnick didn't negotiate with the global elite. They delivered a reality check.

Foreign ownership of our food system a national security threat
Bill Gates owns ~275,000 acres across 17 states - making him one of America’s largest private farmland owners
What’s he doing with it? Growing corn, soybeans, potatoes - then LEASING it back to farmers through his investment firm Cascade
Meanwhile, FOREIGN entities now control ~46 MILLION acres of American ag land (3.6% of total):
🇨🇦 Canada: ~15.4M acres (33%)
🇨🇳 China: ~277,000 acres (mostly Smithfield Foods)
China’s acreage is less than others, but includes land near military bases, which has raised REAL national security concerns
UPDATE: In response to these concerns, the Trump administration announced its “National Farm Security Action Plan” in July 2025. This plan aims to BAN future purchases by foreign adversaries and use presidential authorities to “claw back” land already purchased, stating a clear goal of securing U.S. farmland.
We have to not lose sight of this and continue to push the administration to take action. Much more needs to be done.
🚨 GATES FOUNDATION UNDER FIRE 🚨
The China connections runs deep. In October 2025, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley launched an investigation into the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for allegedly funneling "tens of million" to Chinese Communist Party-linked entities.
**The allegations:**
- $11.7 million to CCP-controlled government agencies
- $2 million to a corporation the Pentagon identified as working with China’s military
- $6.7 million to state-run Chinese universities
- In 2022 alone: $23 million to over 20 different Chinese entities
Grassley is questioning whether these payments violate tax laws prohibiting 501(c)(3) charities from directly supporting foreign governments. The Gates Foundation now faces scrutiny over whether it’s complying with its tax-exempt status.
This comes on top of reports that the Gates Foundation Trust holding approximately $53 million in Tencent stock (as of 2023 filings; latest Q2 2025 data shows no such holdings, suggesting potential divestment) - a company on the Pentagon’s list of Chinese military companies - plus tens of millions more in other Chinese state-owned enterprises.
🍔 GATES’ FOOD EMPIRE: CONTROLLING WHAT YOU EAT 🍔
Meanwhile, Gates is quietly building control over America’s food supply through strategic investments:
Lab-Grown Meat Companies:
•UPSIDE Foods (formerly Memphis Meats) - $400M+ invested, USDA-approved cultivated chicken
•Impossible Foods - $50M+ invested, makes plant-based “bleeding” burgers using GMO soy
•Beyond Meat - Major investor, partnerships with KFC, Pizza Hut, McDonald’s
•Eat Just/GOOD Meat - Early investor, produces lab-grown chicken and vegan eggs
•Motif FoodWorks - Repeat investor, creates “meat-flavored” proteins for plant-based products
Gates’ farmland directly supplies:
•McDonald’s french fries (from his massive Washington potato fields)
•World’s largest carrot producer
•Major onion suppliers
Other food-tech investments:
•Savor - Creating “fat molecules” from CO2 without animals or plants
•C16 Biosciences - Developing synthetic palm oil alternatives
•Previous stakes in Monsanto (now Bayer) - the GMO seed giant
•John Deere - Agricultural equipment manufacturer
•Hormel Foods - $66.4 million stake
The pattern is clear: Gates invests in land, then invests in the technology companies that patent seeds and create synthetic foods, then uses his foundation to push policies that benefit those same companies
THE SMITHFIELD CONNECTION
Chinese ownership of Smithfield (via WH Group) also means the profits from many of America’s most historic food brands go overseas
Smithfield owns:
- Smithfield
- Eckrich
- Nathan’s Famous
- Armour
- Farmland
- Gwaltney
- John Morrell
- Kretschmar
- Farmer John
- Cook’s
- Carando
- Margherita
- Curly’s
- Patrick Cudahy
Our farmers can’t compete when billionaires and foreign investors drive land prices up and control markets - and our lawmakers need to ensure American charitable foundations aren’t bankrolling our adversaries.
The best way to support real American Farmers and Ranchers is to purchase from them directly
