Can't figure out why the 100 largest landowning families aren't using their land for any of the other reasons. Surely some of them are having it farmed for them too?

OIL. There's a LOT of land that might be considered cow/grazing but won't really grow anything worth it. See West Texas.

Swamps don't make good farms, but some people try to farm in FL, it's just inefficient and heavily pollutes or eliminates wetlands
