Unclear from my 5 minutes of internet research.
The #5 on their list of farmland owners (the infographic at the top of the page) has ~60% the farmland of the Gates family.
It's also worth noting that #2-5 rank 81, 81, 94, and 99 on the overall 2020 Land Report 100 -- and Gates doesn't rank at all. So a lot of people own a lot more land, but almost no one owns nearly as much farmland in the US.
