He also stated the farm was initially a thousand acre tract of land that was a grant from King George, but over time the farm has been parceled out and he currently owns about 12 acres. I thought it looked like a scene that would have been right at home if it were in Kansas. - Robert Ellis Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
