Listen to the OPB News live stream (opens new window)Streaming Now MBTA General Manager Phil Eng said agency officials pushed to speed up deployment of fare gates at South Station and Back Bay Station, which will complement similar technology in place at North Station. The gates are designed to ensure that passengers are paid up before they board trains Officials first described plans for fare gates at those three stations as far back as 2017 we were informed that the installation of fare gates at Back Bay and South Stations could not start until 2026 due to the private development projects at both locations The construction footprints prevented us from installing the gates and paths of travel in accordance with building codes and we worked with the developers to accelerate the schedule for installing fare gates," Eng said in a statement the installation work gets underway at South Station the fare gates will be operational in the fall Inspector General Jeffrey Shapiro on Tuesday published a three-page letter to Eng calling for renewed focus on improving commuter rail fare collection, and describing the scale of uncollected fares as "greatly understated over the years." Eng replied that the letter "does not capture all of our efforts" regarding commuter rail fare collection. He pointed out that commuter rail fare revenue has increased significantly over the past three years, as have scans of mobile mTickets by conductors. "The complexities and significant costs associated with installing fare gates at 140 outdoor Commuter Rail platforms can not be overstated. Such an effort would require the MBTA to prioritize fare gates over critical maintenance and infrastructure needs directly associated with the delivery of safe and reliable service," he said. "Introducing fare gates at targeted, strategic locations is a far more effective solution." meets actor Sheryl Lee Ralph and historian Lonnie Bunch—two African Americans whose ancestors broke boundaries as they moved from slavery to freedom Traveling from plantations in the south to cities in the north Season 11 Episode 9 | 52m 10sVideo has Closed Captions | CC maps the roots of actor Sheryl Lee Ralph & historian Lonnie Bunch From Gates uses his detective skills to piece together the lives of women and men who survived unimaginable ordeals—and emerged to forge thriving families Problems with Closed Captions? Closed Captioning Feedback Corporate support for Season 11 of FINDING YOUR ROOTS WITH HENRY LOUIS GATES Link Copied to ClipboardHow to Watch Finding Your RootsFinding Your Roots is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App, available on iPhone, Apple TV, Android TV, Android smartphones, Amazon Fire TV, Amazon Fire Tablet, Roku, Samsung Smart TV, and Vizio. Explore Finding Your Roots: Season 11Discover the guests and stories featured in the eleventh season of "Finding Your Roots." Welcome to "Finding Your Roots." we'll explore the family trees of actor Sheryl Lee Ralph meeting ancestors who made incredible journeys from slavery to freedom GATES: You descend from a free person of color GATES: While DNA experts utilize the latest advances in genetic analysis to reveal secrets that have lain hidden for generations And we've compiled everything into a Book of Life Lonnie and Sheryl grew up longing to learn about their enslaved ancestors they'll hear stories that most of us can never hear stories that will take them deep into the past challenging their preconceptions and inspiring them to see themselves in entirely new ways GATES: Sheryl Lee Ralph is living proof that dreams can come true The exuberant actor with the golden voice spent four decades in Hollywood searching like so many other African Americans for roles that matched her talents "Abbott Elementary" and won her first Emmy at the age of 65 but Sheryl had an advantage from the start Growing up in New York she made frequent trips to her mother's native Jamaica where she saw firsthand just how much Black people could accomplish I was always seeing Black people in the headlines doing amazing things So when I would come back to the United States and you would have a teacher or somebody tell you about what you couldn't do you don't know what Black people can do." GATES: This sense of confidence would fuel Sheryl's career but not before it created a bit of conflict in her own home yet she found herself drawn to the stage and won a lead role in a play during her first year An accomplishment that did not exactly please her mother It was a play called "The Soft Touch," and And so I figured I should tell my parents that I got the lead What you mean to tell me you're going to be an actress You're going to spend your life with those fake and phony people You're going to waste our hard-earned money 'til your good is better and your better best GATES: Eventually Sheryl's parents would embrace her ambition but it would take much longer for the entertainment industry to do the same thing Sheryl's only regret is that her parents weren't here to see it RALPH: I know that their spirit is still with me your parents are working their magic from heaven for you girl RALPH: As they say in Jamaica "Wheel around and come again." GATES: My second guest is historian Lonnie Bunch the creative genius behind the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington He grew up in New Jersey where his parents were school teachers but all four of his grandparents were from the Jim Crow South A journey that taught young Lonnie an enduring lesson my father was the only driver in those days and I remember he pulled over 'cause he was tired BUNCH: And that notion that "this is my America too," has always shaped how I thought about that GATES: Lonnie not only heeded his father's words He earned a master's degree in history he began to doubt the choice he'd made but I also realized that as much as I loved research and scholarship and I always thought that would always be the heart of who I am I also love the notion of really making history accessible I sort of came to the sense that history was too important to be in the hands of historians and so this was a way to sort of share that love with the broadest possible audience I think historians talk powerfully among themselves about why history matters BUNCH: But they don't tell the public that and they expect the public to learn and to say let the public understand how you do the work you do because basically what you're saying is here's the reservoir of possibility that history gives them GATES: Lonnie's vision would yield spectacular results when he was appointed the first director of the National Museum of African American History and Culture Yet he proceeded to create a dazzling institution One of the most visited museums in the entire United States Lonnie was guided by a simple desire to honor his ancestors BUNCH: That's what really gave me strength going through it even though I didn't know a lot about my grandfather or my grandparents on both sides that maybe it might not help me understand my family but it'll help other people understand their families and theirselves BUNCH: And so that's what really sort of motivated me to basically say One is that America will always have to confront its tortured racial past 'cause that'll be on the National Mall it'll be a place where people can come in and dip into that reservoir and say GATES: My two guests share a common thread knowing that their roots laid to the South It was time to explore those roots in detail I started with Sheryl Lee Ralph and with her paternal grandfather George Ralph George was born in 1902 on a farm in Gates County But although George left his past behind it lingered on in Sheryl's imagination Did your grandfather talk much about growing up on a farm But I knew they did because when we would get in the car there used to be a time when you would get in your car at night.. RALPH: And we would always end up on this farm It was wonderful to wake up to the food that smelled so amazing I hated the bathroom because there was none And you'd have to dump it out in the mornings But that's why I think I only did that three times Sheryl has deep roots in and around the farm that she remembers so well and they contain a pair of truly compelling stories The first begins with the 1880 census for North Carolina where we found the listing for Sheryl's great-great-grandparents Both were born over a decade before emancipation GATES: Have you given much thought to your enslaved ancestors because all of that made a difference at that time GATES: We wanted to answer Sheryl's questions but there was a huge obstacle in front of us Enslaved people almost never were listed by name in federal records which has created what genealogists call "a brick wall" a barrier beyond which there is often no paper trail One of the only ways to break through this wall is to search the records of enslavers hoping to find the names of the people they owned and the documents they left behind And since some formerly enslaved people took the surnames of their former owners after they were freed we began looking for any White farmers in Gates County with the same surname as Sheryl's ancestors this is what's called a slave schedule A portion of the census that listed enslaved persons not by name This particular schedule was recorded for that man And we believe that the 6-year-old boy there is GATES: And we also think that it's possible that the 40-year-old woman.. GATES: And the 36-year-old man were Timothy's parents GATES: Your third great-grandparents listed there as nameless marks RALPH: And who knows where they were after that we have no idea what happened to Timothy's parents after the Civil War But Timothy himself was roughly 10 years old when slavery was abolished he went back to work for the man who had owned him we found Timothy living in David Benton's household listed as a farm laborer Digging deeper we saw that by 1880 Timothy had married and started a family GATES: There's your great-great-grandfather living with his wife who is your great-great-grandmother Easter RALPH: They're living right next door to each other RALPH: So he's been with this man his.. GATES: So this suggests some kind of relationship GATES: Which your ancestor chose to maintain willingly an enormous capacity for forgiveness on your ancestors "Just let Black people lead," because you know what RALPH: They're always gonna be kind to you and they're always gonna make sure you get fed GATES: Happily Sheryl's ancestors wouldn't remain on David Benton's land forever Timothy purchased a small farm securing a measure of prosperity that he and Easter would leave to their children And the couple left something else behind as well it's wonderful to have a picture to know of those who they were and now knowing what I really do know about them It's interesting they're different shades RALPH: They always say that her shade is definitely the shade of slavery that one of the things that was truly taken away from us because of slavery was our color RALPH: And I can see that it's a bit of hers has been erased GATES: Turning from the Bentons to Sheryl's direct paternal line we were able to identify another of her great-great-grandparents likely in the same county where Sheryl's Benton ancestors were enslaved But George's life was fundamentally different from theirs We found him in the 1860 census for North Carolina when I look at my family as far back as I can look RALPH: I always see them striving towards something RALPH: And we've been carrying it with us.. GATES: We wanted to learn how George became free and found a clue by turning back to the 1860 census That means you had two generations in your family that was free before the Civil War GATES: That's two generations who were free GATES: This story was about to take a twist they still had to make their way in a world that did not see them as equals We found an apprenticeship agreement that was filed with a North Carolina court when Sheryl's great-great-grandfather George was roughly 10 years old It lays out the terms under which he was to go to work for a White farmer named Jordan Parker Jordan Parker doth promise and agree that he will teach and instruct or cause to be taught and instructed in the art and mystery of farming And that he will constantly find and provide for the said apprentice during the time aforesaid." RALPH: It would be nice if there was compensation of the financial side so that after you learn something you might be able to afford to set yourself up and move even further along under the terms of his apprenticeship George was to work without pay At the time North Carolina's courts were routinely given the names of children so that local farmers could bid for their services The system was ostensibly designed to prevent orphans and impoverished youth from burdening the state But it was also used to exploit the free Black population George's agreement contains a line that has been crossed out an act that makes its intent patently clear The law required White apprentices to be taught to read and write and cypher GATES: The state created an exemption for children of color and perhaps most impressively somehow found a way to obtain an education in his old age An accomplishment that filled Sheryl with pride and I come from people who never gave up and kept right on And they plant the seeds that are still growing now first learned about his southern roots through childhood trips to a family farm Johnny Boone and Flossie Anderson grew cotton in Woodland Lonnie visited them almost every summer without ever quite fitting in I'd only read about farms in schools so suddenly But I realized that it wasn't romantic one of my strongest members is being 14 or 15 going down to And so got up that first morning and all these people had on hats and overalls so I had my nice jeans with a crease and my Adidas sneakers I can't believe how long this is and I look up I'm not even a third of way down the row he wasn't the first in his family to see the value of an education Jesse came of age in North Carolina during the rise of Jim Crow a wave of laws were legalizing segregation in his state restricting the rights of Black people and limiting their opportunities especially the opportunity to get a public school education the following committeemen were appointed Woodland number one GATES: Your great-grandfather was appointed to the school committee for his local school for Black students I'm stunned by that because I've never heard anybody say anything other than he was a farmer And a very important member of his community Jesse was responsible for the care of his local schools and the hiring of their teachers It was an extremely challenging job in no small part because many of Jesse's fellow White citizens had very different ideas about who should be doing it BUNCH: "We urged the appointment of White committeemen for each colored school in Bertie County We urged the complete taking charge by White men of every public agency in the county The school committeemen really spend the school's money The White people raise the school's funds The White people demand to know what goes with their taxes They're getting very sore over having any of it educate the Negro White men should supervise the spending of the taxes give us none but White committeemen for every school." BUNCH: In some ways what it does is make something that how dare you spend any money for those folks unless we control it GATES: This article did not represent an isolated opinion heavily armed bands of White supremacists had besieged Wilmington North Carolina murdering Black people and burning down their businesses So what do you think Jesse was thinking when he joined that school board is the courage and the sense of willingness to sacrifice for the greater good BUNCH: You had to know that you were putting yourself and your family at risk the notion of staying below the firing line BUNCH: Yet here is somebody stepping above it BUNCH: And I just can't imagine what courage that took I wish I could hear the conversations he and his wife had about these choices that he would make Jesse was appointed to the committee for a term of two years Jim Crow was firmly entrenched in North Carolina And it seems that Jesse never had the opportunity to serve again Jesse purchased 75 acres of land and made the most of them your grandparents still owned property from that very purchase So maybe I should have been a better chopper then I'm just trying to get my head around what it would take to believe you could do that I could see though that's also why you're a leader because you're trying to lead to help people understand how important education is how important it's to own your own land GATES: Can you imagine what Jesse would've thought knowing he was buying something that would shape his family for generations there's a part of me that hopes he had that vision BUNCH: Of recognizing that what he was going to do was to touch people yet unborn BUNCH: Because I think that clearly the way he thought about education he was really recognizing that he could change the trajectory of a family.. we began to explore her mother's Jamaican roots starting with Sheryl's great-great-grandfather Sheryl told me that she knew she had McClymont ancestors but that her mother had always been hesitant to discuss them We set out to learn why and found a clue in James' baptismal record It describes him as being a "mestee," a Jamaican term for a person who was mixed race This led us to the estate records of James' father where we saw that this family was much more complicated than it first seemed RALPH: "Do make publish and declare this to be my last will and testament It is my will and desire that each of my four children be sent to school and taught to read and write that each of them receive 20 pounds currency per annum every year." GATES: And you see how your third great-grandfather Hugh And we found no evidence that he was an enslaver which meant he had a sizable estate when he died and he used it to take care of his mixed-race children roughly three years after slavery was abolished in Jamaica It indicates that James' mother was a woman named Mary Robinson And we don't know how she met James' father Hugh or whether she was ever enslaved before meeting him All we could say for certain is that when Hugh drafted his will So do you think Mary and Hugh ever married RALPH: "Hugh McClymont and Mary Robinson married by license on the 21st day of September 1837." GATES: Your third great-grandfather and mixed-race third great-grandmother got married I don't know why your mom didn't wanna say his name RALPH: I think it's because she did not know this side of her own story GATES: We had one more surprise for Sheryl Turning back to Hugh McClymont's estate records we saw that he was determined to make sure that his wife was secure even after his death RALPH: "It is my will and desire that my affectionate wife and before named children shall have my property named Ginger Hall." GATES: Hugh left Mary and their four children Hugh was making more than just a symbolic gesture He was giving his wife independence and status in a post-slavery Jamaica GATES: Have you ever heard of a story like this before GATES: Hugh McClymont passed away sometime before 1845 We know this because Mary remarried that same year to a formerly enslaved man named Adam Saunders We're not sure when Mary herself died "Might as well try..." RALPH: "Try both sides of it." you keep blowing my mind because like you said We don't hear these stories like this GATES: We'd already traced Lonnie Bunch's maternal roots back to his great-grandfather whose heroic service to the Black community had somehow been forgotten in the passage of time we came to two people whose entire lives had been forgotten you just met your great-great-grandparents whose names were Washington Anderson and Mariah Lassiter that's 205 years ago in Hertford County Mariah was born around 1833 also in Hertford County GATES: Washington and Mariah were both born decades before the Civil War which meant that they were likely born into slavery to learn more about their lives we searched the records of slave owners who shared their surname just as we'd done with Sheryl Lee Ralph's ancestors We found a will from the year 1861 filed by a White planter named John A Anderson of the county of Hertford in the state of North Carolina do make this my last will and testament and Washington are working off at the carpenter trade GATES: There is your great-great-grandfather Washington beyond a doubt in the will mentioned by the name of his enslaver John Anderson So we know his name and that he was a carpenter GATES: So this particular skill was not passed down His owner's will tells us that he did not work on his owner's plantation which suggests that he may have been hired out to other White people in the area who wanted to pay his owner for his carpentry work and it may have given Washington more freedom than most enslaved people had but it also meant that he was likely separated from his wife and children can you imagine being in Washington's shoes and being sent to work away from your wife and children did that being away from the family still give him a little freedom to go see the family BUNCH: And I'd love to know the other side of it is how is somebody who owns people is it really that you can reduce them so much to being so different than who you are that it doesn't matter that they're does something tap you on the shoulder and say GATES: If John Anderson had qualms about owning human beings they do not appear in any surviving documents BUNCH: "I further wish and desire that my executors aforesaid said shall sell either privately or publicly the said two Negroes at any time that they'll be able to get a fair price even if they keep them on hire for some year or two." you give him money and you can just be sold about two months after the start of the Civil War By that time Washington and his wife Mariah and now suddenly their future was up in the air So what do you think happened to your ancestor my hope is that the war disrupts things and allows them to sort of find their freedom my fear is that they still might have been sold And then the struggle of trying to reunite with your family at some point.. BUNCH: ...would've been the big challenge This is part of the probate record filed by the estate of John Anderson in Hertford County would you please read that transcribed section BUNCH: "Account of sale of the property of John A trying to understand what it must have felt like he worked for a period of time for this owner but suddenly realize when push comes to shove does it make it more difficult for him to maintain a family it's real clear that you don't control your own destiny GATES: Washington was purchased by a man named William Watson Mitchell whose plantation was located about 20 miles from Anderson's a considerable distance to travel at that time So Washington's family was likely broken apart by the sale afflicted many enslaved people but we were able to show Lonnie something that personalized his ancestor's experience That is a man who owned your great-great-grandfather Washington would've seen this man every day and would've known that William also had the power to sell him again at any moment even though I know so much about slavery and the system somehow seeing it affecting my family directly how are you not realize that why worry about anything GATES: There is a grace note to this story Roughly four years after Washington was purchased by Mitchell slavery was abolished in the United States we saw that Lonnie's family was reunited in freedom this census also shows that although Washington and Mariah were illiterate their youngest children had learned to read and write What do you make of your ancestors after seeing everything that they went through and accomplished BUNCH: I wish I was as strong as they were I think the most powerful thing that this talks to me about is how do you believe when you shouldn't believe How do you go forward when you get sold away BUNCH: How do you ensure that you can't read BUNCH: To make sure at least your youngest children GATES: Because not everybody felt that way and what it tells me is I want my granddaughter to know that she's got an obligation to help fulfill the dreams they started to allow us to have BUNCH: You're gonna make me start crying now GATES: The paper trail had now run out for each of my guests it was time to show them their full family trees filled with names they'd never heard before Offering the chance to see how their own lives were part of a larger family story when you were struggling trying to figure out how to believe that you could move forward GATES: My time with my guests was running out but I still had a surprise for Sheryl when we compared her DNA to that of others who'd been in the series Evidence of a distant cousin she never knew she had Jackson share a long stretch of DNA on their 16th chromosomes This means that they have a common ancestor somewhere in their family trees That's the end of our journey with Sheryl Lee Ralph and Lonnie Bunch Join me next time when we unlock the secrets of the past for new guests on another episode of "Finding Your Roots."

Just search KOAA News5 Report a typo North Marion football will officially enter the Jeremiaha Gates era In front of him lays a path to redeeming the Colts from a 1-9 season The opportunity is a homecoming of sorts for the first-time head coach His mother's side of the family is from the Citra area "North Marion is a place where a lot of my family graduated from," Gates said "I think everyone from my mother's side graduated from North Marion North Marion would be the place I was going to watch." Gates didn't have the "love at first sight" moment as some football players have had Being a quarterback on flag football teams as a young player gave him a foundation but he didn't play organized ball until the seventh grade he learned the game in a crash course fashion and quarterback during his state championship-winning career at Trinity Catholic "Not actually having a position caused me to learn the entire game so that the game would slow down for me at any position," said Gates who went on to play running back at FCS Samford University in Alabama and it made me look better than I actually was I started becoming a coach before I became a coach." Gates's desire to coach football was born out of the relationship he built with the staff at Samford Seeing the way they molded him made him want to do the same "If I can give the information that I've accumulated over the years back to a kid before I got it their chance of success will be a lot quicker," Gates said His coaching journey began as a graduate assistant at Concord University in West Virginia He spent the following year coaching receivers at Florida Tech and it led to an opportunity of a lifetime: playing professional football in Germany this time as a high school assistant at Belleview under coach Michael Kelly he was defensive coordinator with Trinity Catholic Gates picked up more knowledge as he took advantage He learned how to get the most out of his players from SMU head coach Rhett Lashlee Coastal Carolina offensive coordinator Travis Trickett taught him the ins and outs of reading a box in Gus Malzahn’s RPO system SMU assistant coach Garrin Justice taught him line play "I got blessed to run into a lot of great coaches," Gates said "I've had a lot of good mentors as a coach." His days as a running back have shaped how he wants his teams to approach the game Gates and his staff want to keep it simple and play with intensity The first year after a coaching change is all about laying a foundation Those first bricks are used to pave the path for the Colts to become a team no one wants to play As his team tries to create that reputation "Being able to come back to Marion County and take a program like North Marion a historically prominent powerhouse in central Florida and be chosen as the one to get the program back in the direction in which Colt country is used to happen," Gates said and I would have been honored to take those jobs but I feel like I landed in the right spot."

winter’s precipitation will fall in a frozen form and how cold our temperatures might get the polar jet stream — controlled by the now-infamous polar vortex — can be thought of as the gatekeeper to wintry weather in the Southeast US A stronger polar jet stream means stronger westerly winds and little deviation in the jet pattern at high latitudes which bottles up cold air up near the North Pole and keeps the gates closed to prevent that cold air from advancing to the south a weaker polar jet stream (pictured on the right) has more deviations in its path which can send pieces of the polar vortex and cold This also enhances our chances for winter storms as the potential for interaction between the subtropical and polar jet streams increases We often describe the strength and position of the polar jet stream by discussing the phases of the Arctic Oscillation (AO) and North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) A negative phase of each is associated with a weaker polar jet and a blocking pattern to our north that is favorable for wintry weather in North Carolina The combined effects of these patterns help establish a strong high pressure system over eastern Europe a low pressure system in the north Pacific and a weakening of the polar vortex from the top of the atmosphere down Here’s how each ingredient plays a part and how they stack up this year As we’ve already discussed in this year’s Winter Outlook one of the strongest El Niño events on record is in place which should mean an active subtropical jet stream this winter El Niño can also affect the polar jet stream As the map of 500 millibar height anomalies — basically or troughs and ridges in the jet stream — on the left shows one prominent upper-level feature during strong El Niño winters is an anomalously strong low-pressure system in the north Pacific this strong North Pacific low disrupts the upper-atmospheric flow pattern The ripples from this disturbance help prevent the polar vortex from becoming strong and closely bound to the North Pole This North Pacific low often sets up in December that may be a good indication that El Niño’s impacts on the polar jet stream are present A theory first proposed more than 15 years ago by Dr. Judah Cohen linked the rate of increase of Siberian snowfall in October with large-scale atmospheric responses in the following winter As snow builds up over Eurasia in the fall the surface cools but the upper atmosphere warms This helps establish a semi-permanent high-pressure system over eastern Europe this high — along with the cooler surface temperatures farther south across central Asia — can disrupt the upper-atmospheric flow and weaken the polar vortex and polar jet stream snow fell across Siberia at a steady and often rapid rate The month finished with the 6th-highest snow cover out of the past 48 years Although that’s not as high as last year when the October snow cover ranked as the 2nd-highest atmospheric El Niño impacts that were missing last year are now present which should bolster our chances of seeing a favorable polar jet stream pattern In last year’s Winter Outlook, we introduced the idea that winds in the stratosphere — measured by the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) index — propagate downward to the jet stream level and influence the strength of the polar vortex from the top down those upper-atmospheric winds were strong easterlies (a negative QBO) and we expected that as they reached the level of the westerly jet stream they would weaken the polar jet stream and polar vortex That didn’t happen during the winter and we saw a strongly negative AO and NAO in July once it happened those stratospheric winds have become westerly and the October QBO value was the most positive ever measured during that month Once the atmospheric impacts of ENSO and Siberian snowfall have had time to set up and act on the polar vortex this winter we could see a similar pattern shift by January This fall, we’ve seen two out of three precursors for polar vortex weakening: El Niño conditions and above-normal October Siberian snowfall buildup. Their atmospheric footprints are also showing up in the latest global observations which may be setting the stage for the polar vortex to weaken through December and early January it could eventually allow for pieces of the vortex to detach and move southward — similar to the last two winters — opening the gates for cold air outbreaks and the potential for wintry weather likely beginning in January This polar pattern accompanied by a negative AO and/or NAO pattern would favor wintry setups for the Southeast If a sustained period with a negative AO and NAO phase were to develop this winter, the potential for a severe winter storm — while still relatively low — would be much higher than normal based on the likelihood of an active southerly storm track and the availability of cold air there are no guarantees in North Carolina winters until flakes are actually falling climate-office@ncsu.edu Find Us On Social Media speaks at a news conference during the World Economic Forum in Davos The sale of prime North Dakota farmland to a group tied to Bill Gates has stirred emotions over a Depression-era law meant to protect family farms and raised questions about whether the billionaire shares the state’s values (AP) — The sale of a couple thousand acres of prime North Dakota farmland to a group tied to Bill Gates has stirred emotions over a Depression-era law meant to protect family farms and raised questions about whether the billionaire shares the state’s values Gates is considered the largest private owner of farmland in the country with some 269,000 acres across dozens of states according to last year’s edition of the Land Report 100 an annual survey of the nation’s largest landowners He owns less than 1 percent of the nation’s total farmland “I don’t know that it’s quite as volatile a situation as some have depicted,” North Dakota Republican Attorney General Drew Wrigley told The Associated Press Thursday but it’s not me sticking a finger in the eye of Bill Gates told a North Dakota TV station that many people feel they are being exploited by the ultra-rich who buy land but do not necessarily share the state’s values About 2100 acres (849.84 hectares) of land were sold in the deal who is currently on a state-sponsored trade mission to the United Kingdom did not immediately respond to a list of questions emailed by the AP Wrigley said the corporate farming inquiry goes out “as a matter of course” when his office is notified of farmland sales in this case Red River Trust’s $13.5 million purchase of property in two counties from wealthy northeastern North Dakota potato growers Campbell Farms Phone calls to Campbell Farms went unanswered “It’s meant to get everybody up to speed on what the ownership arrangement is and what their intentions are for the land,” Wrigley said they’re informed they’re going to have to divest of the land.” Corporations are exempted from the law if the land is necessary “for residential or commercial development;
