Land to Table – that’s what’s cooking in the Summer issue of The Magazine of the American Landowner.
Five amazing landowners are profiled – individuals, couples, and families who are changing the way America eats as they produce Vermont maple sugar, harvest wild game in the Texas Hill Country, craft organic goat cheese in Montana, and raise farm fresh produce just an hour outside of Chicago.
Of course the show stopper is the legendary entrepreneur who won America’s Cup and created CNN. Ted Turner’s bison herd is the world’s largest. It now numbers over 50,000 head. In this issue, we feature an exclusive excerpt from Todd Wilkinson’s new book, Last Stand, which details Turner’s acquisition of the famed Flying D Ranch and his revitalization of this iconic symbol of the West.
Plus, The Land Report goes behind the scenes with Turner’s partner at Ted’s Montana Grill, George McKerrow.

The Land Report Fall 2013
With 2.2 million acres, John Malone takes top honors for the third consecutive year. His love of land, coupled with his wife’s love of horses, led to several key acquisitions, including a historic Irish castle just south of Dublin and two properties in Wellington, the epicenter of Florida’s equestrian community.
At more than 2 million acres, Ted Turner runs a close second to his good friend. Turner enjoys the distinction of being New Mexico’s largest landowner, and he capitalized on that honor by acquiring the historic Sierra Grande Lodge and Spa in Truth or Consequences. Guests at the Lodge will be able to enjoy tours of Turner’s 156,439-acre Ladder Ranch and his 362,885-acre Armendaris Ranch.
Thanks to his acquisition of the Broken O Ranch, Denver Nuggets owner Stan Kroenke moved up from No. 10 on last year’s list to No. 8 in the rankings. Among the newcomers to this year’s list are Texas’s Wilks Brothers, founders of Frac Tech. Their prized jewel is Montana’s 60,000-acre N Bar Ranch, which they acquired from former Land Report 100er Tom Siebel, founder of Siebel Systems. Another new name on the list is Arthur Nicholas, who serves on the board of the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum. Nicholas is the owner of Wyoming’s historic Wagonhound Land and Livestock Co., which is the subject of a new book by Land Reporters Wyman Meinzer and Henry Chappell.
