Inside the LDS Church’s $16 Billion Farmland Empire – 42,500 Cows, 36,000 Calves & Millions of Acres

Описание: How did a church become one of the largest landowners on Earth—running cattle ranches, citrus groves, timberlands, and solar farms across millions of acres?
At the heart of this story is Deseret Ranch in Florida, home to 42,500 cows producing 36,000 calves every single year—a ranch nearly ten times the size of Walt Disney World.
