Bill Gates wins legal approval to buy huge swath of North Dakota farmland worth $13.5M after outcry from residents who say they are being exploited by the ultra-rich

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Bill Gates has secured legal approval for his North Dakota farmland purchase

Gates' firm, Red River Trust, purchased 2,100 acres in the state for $13.5 million

But the deal drew scrutiny under a 1932 anti-corporate farm ownership law

Now state AG says the deal is legal, because the land will be leased to farmers

Gates is the largest single owner of US farmland, with some 270,000 acres
