    Thing about these ol farmers with all this acreage: they like living in their land away from others. They already have plenty of money. They don’t like tech companies. They don’t give a fuck about having more money than what they have. It isn’t worth the trouble of moving or giving up their land.

      Water rights probably play a huge part in it too. I wouldn’t want to sell someone land to build a huge sponge right next my farm that requires a lot of water either. We are going to be competing over a limited resource.
