The Old Nothwest became known as the Midwest as the US expanded further westward. The heart of the Midwest is therefore Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. This is objective fact. meow-tableflip

Iowa gets in on a corn and casserole-based technicality, but the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Kansas are wheat-growing plains states. Missouri is the south.
