Ted Turner’s land grab generates suspicion in Nebraska

Ted Turner’s men didn’t flinch. As the price climbed past $8 million, $9 million, $9.5 million, they continued bidding at a rapid-fire pace.

When the auction was over, they walked away with what they came for: 26,300 acres of prime ranch land, at a cost of nearly $10 million.

"It hasn’t taken long to find out he’s serious," said Duane Kime, a rancher and Turner neighbor who was outbid by about $100,000 by the CNN founder.
