Questions

Who is the largest landowner in Kansas?

On county property records, HARTLAND RANCH LLC holds the most land in Kansas: 45,111 acres across 107 parcels in 2 counties.

How much land do the largest landowners in Kansas hold?

The 50 institutions on this list hold 1,192,642 acres between them. 5 of them are public bodies, such as the state, cities and agencies.

Why are no individuals on this list?

Deedlines ranks companies, trusts held by companies and government agencies only. A public ranking of private people by the land they own would be a list of where they live, so individuals are never ranked.

Where do these numbers come from?

From the assessor files of 105 Kansas counties, the same records behind each county's tax roll. Acreage is what the assessor records; a survey can differ, and a company filed under two spellings counts as two names.
