Hi all: it has been a while since I have posted, but nothing gets me going quite like reading about the Mormon Church and their riches.

From the Capital Press article:
Lessons to be learned from these articles:
1. Bill Gates is a poor compared to the Mormon Church.
2. Don't get in a bidding battle with the Mormons. They take no prisoners.
3. When Jesus comes back, the Mormons are making sure they have land now so they have enough food stored up because Jesus is going to be mad and bad $#!* is going to happen.
Some further random questions and thoughts, mingled with snark:
1. TSCC needed more farmland so they could make sure to have a place to send all of the old farmers on Church service missions. Can't beat free labor to maintain that $210 million dollar investment.
2. TBM's will likely read the articles and say, "look how the Church is buying land to produce food for the welfare system!" How much of the crop produced here will actually go to the welfare system and feed those that need it, and how much will instead be sold to large food companies? It sure would be nice if TSCC would actually open the books and show us, wouldn't it?
3. Following on with point 2, reference in the OPB article is made to "AgriNorthwest" (owned by TSCC)...per its website, AgriNorthwest farms a lot of crops and does what with it? "Export" "Deliver to Consumers" (See https://www.agrinorthwest.com (hit "products" link)). Let's be real: the Mormons aren't using this land principally for feeding the homeless and hungry, and they won't be using the Easterday land for that either.
4. I wonder if the Easterday's are or were Mormon?
Unless someone already did, I am going to cross post this on exmo reddit as well so the spreadsheets of those keeping them that monitor TSCC's investments can be updated to account for TSCC's new ownership of 12,000 more acres in Washington state, but thought this crowd may also appreciate the info on TSCC's stewardship of our previously donated tithing dollars.

From the Capital Press article:
I mean, when you have a spare $210 million laying around, what you gonna do with it? Use it to help people? Nah, invest!Farmland Reserve Inc., the real estate company of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, submitted the high bid of $209 million for the Easterday ranch properties in Eastern Washington, topping a company linked to Bill Gates.
