North Dakota farmer makes crude discovery: largest oil spill on US soil

Unlike the classic "Beverly Hillbillies" character who struck it rich with oil, Jensen figured the "black gold" was coming from the pipeline that runs under his 1,800-acre wheat farm, carrying oil from the Bakken formation to a rail facility 45 miles north. Instead of getting rich, Jensen, 56, has been left with a huge mess -- his acreage in Tioga fouled by the largest oil spill on U.S. soil in history.

Sad day when this stuff happens.

I hope this farmer gets compensation from the oil company.

Oh this explains it

The pipeline, which stretches 35 miles, was built by BP in 1993 and bought by Tesoro in 2001.
