North Dakota Supreme Court Rules on Land Sale Dispute

• The North Dakota Supreme Court ruled that a man could not purchase his parents' farmland for $100 an acre.
• The ruling was due to the man failing to meet the condition of actively farming the land.
• The court ordered a lower court to calculate damages for the man's use of the property.
• The case could have significant implications for landowners if the Supreme Court sides with federal law.
• The potential outcome could affect landowners' incentives to pursue fair payment when the government takes their land.
