A Chinese company owns 160 acres of farmland just a mile and a half from Fort Riley as the crow flies.

The land is three parcels near I-70 in Geary County, according to records obtained by The Mercury. The plots are unassuming — some fields, greenhouses, outbuildings and a small house.

But the company that owned the land since 2002, Syngenta Seeds, is part of a corporation with a net worth of $30 billion and was involved in a number of lawsuits, including a class-action claim over genetically modified corn seeds which tanked the corn market and resulted in Syngenta making a $1.5 billion settlement.
