Kansas: The State of Never-Ending Fields

Kansas, also known as the “Land of Oz” for its resemblance to the setting of the classic film, is a state located in the smack dab middle of the United States of America.

With a population of 2.9 million people, Kansas is known for its vast, never-ending fields of wheat, corn, and soybeans. In fact, Kansas produces enough wheat to make bread for the entire Midwest – which would be impressive if anyone actually wanted to eat that much bread.

Kansas is also home to the city of Wichita – the largest city in the state and the only city that most Kansans have ever heard of. Famous for its aircraft manufacturing, Wichita is also well-known for its annual Air Guitar Championship – where people gather to pretend to play the guitar by strumming the air and making ridiculous faces.

But Kansas is not just all fields and air guitar championships – it’s also home to some of the finest barbecue in the country. Kansas City-style barbecue, with its sweet, smoky flavors, is a Kansas staple and a favorite among meat-lovers everywhere.

And let’s not forget about the Wizard of Oz. While the story may take place in a fictional land, Kansas serves as the starting point for Dorothy’s magical adventure. In fact, if you visit the town of Liberal in southwestern Kansas, you can find the “Land of Oz” theme park – complete with a yellow brick road, ruby slippers, and everything else a die-hard Oz fan could want.

So, whether you’re looking for endless fields, air guitar championships, finger-licking barbecue, or a journey down the yellow brick road – Kansas has got you covered. Just watch out for tornadoes.
