He owns a shitton of farmland so the John Deere investment makes sense
Not the best person but food instability is a thing he (supposedly) cares about

Hmm, I wonder what he thinks about how John Deere screws over farmers with their anti-right to repair shit.

Thinking ahead. People stay rich by owning something essential others must buy.
