Kansas... Bible Belt state. Corn field, church, corn field, church...

The biggest issue with Kansas is you have the GOP waving Bibles while the Democrats wave everything else. So my vote says "not in this lifetime"...

Hey, it's wheat, not corn. Who do you think we are, Iowa?

Last time I drove the 70 it was all corn!!! 😆

Apparently topping the list on their own website, it's neither. Cattle is first on their agricultural list of accomplishments.

Ha! They do have wheat and cattle. It all depends on which part of Kansas you're talking about.

My favorite part of Kansas is seeing it in my rear-view mirror when I see "Welcome to Colorful Colorado" through my windshield....
