people like to joke about driving through the Midwest but I love driving through hundreds of miles of picture perfect farms
This is why I prefer driving up to Omaha rather than flying. I like seeing all the farms and stuff. It all looks very different from our farms down here. It’s America. Old school America up there. I love it.

I lived up in North Dakota for my first job coming from Tennessee.
1). Less emotional driven politics- They are republicans because of economics & work ethic while southerners are republicans because they hate xyz demographic
2). Looks more developed and less like a third world feudal state like most of the south
3). The food up there is pretty bland, but the standard cookie cutter american food like cheeseburgers are better
4). Higher emphasis on social contract and community up there while the south is much more individualistic and let the weak rot

i think it's the more homogenous demographics and less emphasis on social class and status

A big difference I’ve noticed between Nebraska and the south is the farms.
Nebraska has picture perfect farms with painted barns, older equipment that’s kept in like new conditions, shop yard clean and organized.
Farms down here will have random dilapidated barns, sheds, shotgun houses that serve no purpose, junk equipment strewn everywhere, shop yard not clean or mowed, million dollar newer equipment that looks like shite. Hell I’ve seen farmers leave broken down or burned up combines in the field and just plant around it next season
It is very noticeable if you've spent a lot of time in the rural parts of both places.
The farms in rural Wisconsin and Michigan are absolutely beautiful. Wisconsin in particular is like a postcard with the picturesque farms with glacial lakes everywhere.

It's brutal down here.
People who have lived here their entire life will romanticize it, but the people are less friendly if you don't fit the mold, they are cliquish, gossipy. There is poverty everywhere, even in the places you wouldn't expect it. You actually run into folks who don't know how to read, or they can't think about anything other than exactly what you tell them.
These things exist everywhere, but they are in abundance down here.
He is asking about the entire south, not just Louisiana.

There’s the south. Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee.
There’s the Deep South. Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana.
There’s Florida.
There’s the coast.
There’s Appalachia.
There’s some bigger cities and many medium sized cities.

If your talking about south La. Other than farming you have a ton of water to chose to hunt and fish in. And you also have festivals and partys and great food as well. Sportsmans Paridise

Texas, Tennessee and Florida are the only states below the Mason/Dixon line worth leaving Nebraska for.

I grew up in the south and lived in Lincoln for a few years.
I believe the mid-west perpetuates the idea that it’s boring and everyone needs to stay away for a reason. They don’t want you Southern Baws coming up here to steal their women.
I’m telling you, there is a very high population of sneaky hot women there. Yoga pants abound during the fall and winter.

Pure Southerners (born and bred in the South) are more cordial, more tolerant, willing to help a stranger in a bind, than them Yanks. Plus Southerners tend to embrace ONE value system - Judeo Christianity. Now true, that's more the norm among the older generations.
Them Northerners (not all of'um, but enough) tend to have that arrogant, condescending attitude.
The two biggest a**holes I ever met from the north were both from.......(wait for it)...........Ohio.
But then one of my best friends is originally from Chicago. But we both share the same values and the same beliefs.

I can report that living in New Orleans would be quite a contrast to living in rural Nebraska.

We have hirse farms, tobacco fields, corn fields, soy bean fields, mountains and bourbon distilleries. Hope this helps.

Sounds like borderline sexual harassment to me.
I'd hire one of TD's attorneys to file a suit.

If you enjoy the multiple seasons of hunting and fishing in Nebraska (and folks I knew there did and it was their schedule), you'd find the hunting and fishing here different seasonally but equally satisfying. And you'd not have to drive anywhere close to away.
One neighbor ( a doctor) of mine in Knoxville missed going to west TN for the opening of duck season so he walked down our hill to the river and bagged his limit that morning before work. They were very good neighbors and shared the food he shot. First time I made Antelope in a red wine sauce from a different hunting trip of his.
