The Captain Bailey House and Hollenberg Station Artwork

More Than Corn

Home of Extreme Midwestern Appreciation

Frankly, the narrative is boring--

"Why would anybody live in the Midwest? It's flat, boring, and nothing but cornfields."--a cliche that, in 2021, officially became the catalyst for More Than Corn.

Tired of the same old tune, we've set out to show that the Midwest is not as bad as some people might think. Yes, there's corn (and a ton of other agriculture, too--you're welcome).

Each week we go into, and beyond, the cornfields to bring you conversations from the best parts of the Midwestern "flyover states."

We are continuing our ghostly tour of the Midwest. This week, we try to find out what really happened at the Captain Bailey House in Brownville, Nebraska, that left the spirits uneasy. Then, we explore Hollenberg Station, near Hanover, Kansas, that may very well still be home to some very daring souls.

And stay until the end--we learn some interesting facts about harvesting corn and the dynamic intersection of science, technology, and agriculture that is agricultural engineering.
