Last I heard ,,he wants 20 million acres world wide which in the grand scheme is more than likely ,the whole of the UK

James Dyson is 71
If he wants 20 million acres I reckon he'd better hurry up and buy it
Average life expectancy for a male in the U.K. Is 79-81 depending on which report you read.

The way his farms are run it would probably be worthwhile, for all, him owning as much as possible!

If he ever gets hard up and wants to sell a few chunks there might be a bargain to be had.

Perhaps it's his nature to be obsessive, relentless and have big visions, and that's why he's achieved what he has. Maybe he's got the farming bug. It can't just be for the money, if he wanted it safe he could afford to hide it offshore? As said above about Corbyn, and general talk of 'wealth redistribution', I'm not sure land is as secure as it was

It's nothing new, successful industrialists have been buying up big chucks of the UK since the industrial revolution.
Good luck to him, but he needs to step they buying up a few gears if he wants that sort of acreage

Let him have his day, its nothing new another generation or 2 it will be getting sold off what the big deal ?
37 million maybe a lot of money but it is really one large estate so pretty insignificant. I think he will be a better landowner for the future of farming than some of the traditional large landowners.

It shows he must be doing something right.
By the sound of it he has big plans for the future too.

True.
As I understand it he isn’t always buying land offered for sale, it persuading certain people to sell. That takes mega money.
