When ancient glaciers covered much of America, they did Illinois a big favor. They deposited some of the richest, thickest soil which is why the state is always a leader in the production of soybeans, corn, and other agricultural products. Many people live in the cities now, but the fertile, black soil of Illinois still produces. Chicago not only has the tallest building in the world with the Sears Tower, but it also leads all cities in manufacturing. Its location has given the city great shipping, railroads, and air traffic. Its airport is the busiest in the world. Illinois, the land of changeable weather, is one of our nation's melting pots of immigrants, which makes it a true all-American state.
