The Anatomy of A Midwestern Thanksgiving 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."
