Wealthiest Thrift Gardeners Led U S Enterprise
Two of the wealthiest figures in American farming are highlighted. Haggin, born 1827 in Harrodsburg Kentucky, owns vast land including 400000 acres in California and 8000 acres in Kentucky. He diversifies with mines from Michigan to Chile, maintains a famed Blue Grass horse farm, and promotes irrigation against stock raiser interests. His horses dominate major stakes, with Firenze Salvator and Miss Woodford among his stars. Yearling sales at Haggin Farm reach into the hundreds of thousands in a long running breeding program.
