Subject: RE: Largest farmland owners in US?


Center of IL
When William Scully died in 1900, I believe, he owned 225,000 acres in Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska. Along with 2500 acres in Ireland. Its been divided among his descendants over the years but I believe most of it is still held by Scully descendants as it was in a trust where they could not sell but I think they can now. Some of the top land available in Illinois. Don't know a lot about the land in other states. Quite an interesting and successful story.
