Well, obviously, our acres are bigger than yours...I know it the same everywhere, I just said that because of the remark TexasPatriot.308 made, "down here aint like Illinois".
Texas is pretty big... Chicago is closer to some parts of Texas than El Paso... According to Google Maps, from Texarkana to Chicago (I-94 / I-290 intersection) is 789 miles. From Texarkana to El Paso (I-10 / US-54 intersection) is 809 miles. And there's still another 22 miles to the New Mexico border. Best I remember from the mile marker signs, there's 880 miles of I-10 in Texas between NM and LA. I-5 in CA comes close though with around 795 miles from the Mexico to Oregon border. From the southernmost tip of Illinois to the northern reaches of your frozen state, you have maybe half of what Texas has across I-10... I think what TexasPatriot.308 was referring to was that the ranches / farms down here just have a lot more land in them than you see in the smaller states like Illinios. The 460 vs 640 thing was most likely just fumble fingers. We have been known to make typos down here also...
