Gina Rinehart may have made her fortune in mining, but she has also put her stamp on Australian agriculture. That was clear when she stepped forward to buy the famous S Kidman and Co holdings in 2016, making her Australia’s biggest landowner, controlling more than 10 million hectares. Ms Rinehart has since been one of the most active purchasers of Australia farmland, but in the past few years has diluted her property holdings. However, she still owns a commanding six million hectares, running about 240,000 cattle, with an eye on new purchases along the east coast. Ms Rinehart, who is not reluctant in making her views known, is a strong advocate for Australian agriculture.
