DAVID RANKIN

David Rankin was one of the most successful farmers in Missouri. He owned many thousands of acres of productive farmland so it is no surprise that his huge field of corn was selected as the subject of one of the huge murals in the Palace of Agriculture. Al Rankin, a great great grandson of David Rankin, tells that Mr. Rankin often traveled up to 40 miles per day checking his crops and farms.
