I recently read an article about Bill Gates that revealed the Microsoft mogul owns a lot of farmland: 269,000 acres.To put that into perspective, if you were to put together all of the farmland that Bill Gates owns, it would be roughly the size of the entire SouthCoast. It would be like combining New Bedford, Fall River, Dartmouth, Westport, Fairhaven, Acushnet, Marion, Mattapoisett and Rochester.We can't begin to imagine what his property taxes look like.But Gates' landholdings are baby stuff compared to the Emmerson Family.
