Why is Kansas City such a bad choice? I understand that you think it’s awful, I just don’t know why. From my very naive perspective, KC seems lower cost, and closer to farms than DC.

Virginia and Maryland have plenty of farms.

A quick look on Google Maps shows one within ~10 miles.

But, ultimately, the USDA isn't there to farm.

No adversarial environment. Corruption flourishes where there is no adversarial environment.
