This is king s**t Social media reacts to Joe Burrow and 20 other athletes purchasing 104-

Publish date: 2024-05-06

The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is one of the most talented QB’s in the NFL right now. He’s managed the AFC Championship in just his second year and looking to win more glory on and off the field in the future.

In that trend, now the 26-year-old quarterback along with some other famous athletes from the big 4 sports in the USA has reportedly purchased some farming lands in Iowa. The roughly 20 other athletes including the Boston Celtics superstar Blake Griffin, Kevin Gausman, and Anders Lee among others have made a 104-acre corn and soy-focused form for roughly $5 million.

The athletes are planning to lease the land to the farmers and are looking to get a single-digit-percentage annual return on the total investment. According to the reports, the athletes will also buy four other farms during the next several years and are looking for a broad mix of agricultural assets. They have further looked into watermelon farms in Oregon, which tend to be smaller and pay higher per-acre rent.

The Bengals’ defensive end Sam Hubbard and Cardinals’ tight end Zach Ertz are also looking to buy in per reports. Furthermore, Former Charlotte Hornets point guard Kemba Walker and Milwaukee Bucks star Khris Middleton are also among those players who are reportedly buying in.

Fans on social media had mixed reactions to the news of Bengals QB Joe Burrow, Blake Griffin, and roughly 20 other athletes reportedly buying 104 acres of corn-based form in Iowa.

Thanks Joe and Sam. Hopefully that helps to solidify food supply chain for the future.

One way to keep the farming industry moving forward for our food chain. Way to go!

Some people question why they have paid roughly 48k USD per acre in Iowa when the market rate is so much lower than that. That led the people to speculate they might be doing this for tax purposes.

48k per acre seems a tad bit high but at least it’s not getting sold to China

Funny timing with the IRS news. This is all about capitalizing on tax loopholes, which republicans apparently encourage.

not one person in the comments knows this is for tax purposes?

Nothing in this article makes sense. $48,000 per acre is super high for even the best soil in Iowa. And if they are splitting profit 20 ways how are any going to make money? Cash rent is not that much? Any of these guys could afford a normal farm on their own?

but why are they paying $48k an acre??????

Some other people believe that the athletes investing in farming lands is good for both the athletes and the farmers. People believe that the athletes are doing this to lease it cheaply to the farmers.

few thoughts: feudalism, serfdom, joe burrow and blake griffin buy farm land for $48k an acre(!!) driving up the cost of farmland and screwing local farmers who already have a tough time. this is bad https://t.co/onTgquTg5a

The way I read this is that these athletes are investing in these farms for little return. Sounds like they’re helping American farmers, right?

Not sure if we’re supposed to be celebrating the athletes or crying for the farmers who don’t own their farms anymore

FREAKING AWESOME
let's hope some minorities get the opportunity to farm
