J-Mann,

Are you a farmer? Thats cool. I really respect the farmers of this country. Florida raises a lot of cattle as well. How many acres do you have?

J-Mann,

I grew up in the country most definitely, but my family does not farm.  I've spent several summers helping with wheat harvest, though.  Most of the farmers around my area had around a section of land, which is close to 700 acres.  A few of the larger operations had 2,000 acres; and that's just wheat farming, mind you.  There's plenty of milo, oats, soybeans, and a bit of corn to go around in Kansas.

Now I work on a dairy farm in addition to finishing up my bachelor's degrees.  We have 200 cows, 150 heifers, and right at around 50 very young calves.  The average cow on our dairy produces 87 pounds of milk per day.  It's a cool job; great stress relief to be outside, doing manual labor, and being around animals.

As Mr. Douglas once said on Green Acres, "the American Farmer is the backbone of our nation's economy,"

Dairy Farming is quite a big thing here as well. I've been to Kansas and I thought it was a pretty nice state. I'd like to go back one day.

Glad you liked it and hope you'll be back one day.  Finding beauty in Kansas is all a matter of perspective.  I personally love the land, and nowhere on earth can produce sunsets that compare to those of Central Kansas, in my opinion.  I live in the middle of the state where the hills meet the plains, so we've got a lot of bluffs and genuinely beautiful country here.  I hate it that so many think of us as nothing more than flyover country.

Interestingly enough, I may well be in Florida next year for Graduate School.  I'm in the process of applying to FSU.

I lived in Oberlin, Kansas for sever years.  That's northwest of Hays.  We milked 'em by hand.  I loved Kansas.

Ah, my dad grew up in Oberlin.  I still have an aunt who lives there.  And here's what I was talking about with Central Kansas sunsets, for all of you unfamiliar with them:

What beauty or uniqueness is there to Kansas that you cannot find in Nebraska, Oklahoma, the Dakotas, or eastern Colorado?

I don't know about J-Mann, but my feeling is not so much that Kansas is unique, but that there is beauty.  Lots of people think it's just in the way when you're driving to Denver. 
Now Nebraska is a different story.  I saw a sign there that said, "scenic overlook ahead."  When I got there it was a speed bump.

A beauty and uniqueness that I'm sure you couldn't appreciate or understand.  I happen to be quite proud of my state, which has qualities altogether different from any of the aforementioned states.  If you've never hiked the Smoky Hills, you wouldn't understand.  If you've never visited Little Jerusalem or Castle Rock, you wouldn't appreciate my pride in Kansas.  It's much more than flat ground.

I understand where you are coming from J-Mann. A person should be proud to be from the state in which they were born.

All this stuff about "pride" and "heritage" is silly. People can have pride in whatever they want and I can think other people's pride is silly.

I'd just ask you that you keep this in mind: deriding someone's pride or beliefs solely because "you have the right" is rather a waste of your time.  It's not silly to have pride in one's country, or nationality, or any number of accomplishments.  It's justified, as is my affection for my state.  I understand though; Kansas is often one of the most ridiculed states, and I wouldn't expect many others to get where I'm coming from.

StatesRights understands though Wink

lol, well...considering the country was founded in my state, I think I have the right to more pride then you do...but anyways...

p.s. I do have pride in that we kicked some southern ass in Gettysburg..

I'm not sure what's so silly about it.  I'm very proud of Canada and British Columbia.  It's natural to develop a certain affection for the place you grew up in.

The country was NOT founded in Pennsylvania. The first colony was Virginia. And it could be argued that Virginia founded the country. I mean they did have the first Thanksgiving in Virginia, way before Massachusetts had it.
