A lot of snobbish comments here IMO, coming from Europe I'm getting an image of the Midwest as a place where 99% people work in agriculture and don't know how to read or write.

It's a very misleading stereotype because where I grew up in the Midwest, seemingly 80% of my classmates had a parent who was an engineer.

A few of the Midwest states in the corn belt consistently out performed the rest of the nation in the pre college tests that used to be given to most of the nations students, though part of this was due to the lack of minority students.
