Bishop Willie B. Knighten (second from left), with the help of farmer and Ph.D. candidate Wilnessa Foster, made his pitch to the Board of Supervisors on Monday for a 99-year lease on 450 acres of county-owned farmland in Moorhead. To the right, Skipper Dodd and Ben Dodd, representing the only farming outfit that bid to farm the land the next four years, pass out packets containing photos of nearby land that Knighten already controls.
