Ten regions divide the United States in unique patterns. Your state is in one of these. The Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, South, Appalachia, Midwest, Rockies, Northwest, West and Southwest. Each one should have an internal “meet-and-greet.”🗺️🛳️

Two Midwest schools in the Final Four this year. Doesn’t happen often looking at this chart. #midwest

Nebraska native Grace Salvatore writes for Restoring the West. She interviewed me for this article. I think it helps explain why we are drawn to sports. @grace_daley_s. open.substack.com/pub/ayaanhirsi… @grace_daley_s

@GGunthorp Was it mainly Farm Bureau or who did they invite?

@PoppePaul I wasn’t invited. Lol

I served on Clinton and Glickman’s USDA Small Farm Commission. We ironically named our report A Timd to Act. We had plenty of experts provide testimony on concentration. That was 25 years ago. I remember Grassley was old then.

Appalachia(Tennessee) vs. the Midwest(Michigan) at 1. Northeast(UConn) goes up against the Mid-Atlantic(Duke) following the first game. Root for your region if you’re looking for something to do today.🏀 #NCAA #ruraltourism #regionaltourism

It’s either cut the wire or take down the tree.🪚

Midwest teams in the Elite Eight—Iowa, Michigan, Illinois and Purdue. Northeast: UConn. Mid-Atlantic: Duke, Appalachia: Tennessee, and Southwest—Arizona.🏀#rootforyourregion #ruraltourism #midwest #NCAA

If you find yourself with one foot at sea and the other on dryland, you’re in no man’s land. If you need the safety of dryland that’s ok. But if it’s adventure you’re after, get on board, raise the sail and take off.🛳️

As the farming season gets busier, don’t neglect your responsibilities to your neighbors. The suffering, the wounded, the lonely, the weak, the marginalized—they’re all around you if you pay attention. #easter #ruraltourism #midwest

I thought of another difference between cowboys and ranchers. A cowboy(or girl) ‘needs’ cows. A rancher ‘has’ cows. It’s the mindset.🐄

Electricity produced using natural gas as its fuel is not renewable. Why would modern private companies be advocating for this, knowing what our country is facing? Solar and wind generation can be installed today, and is renewable. Saving the natural gas supply for future generations should it be necessary.⚡️🛳️ #project2201

Last day to vote.🗳️

“Administrations win championships. Coaches win games… if you’re not totally into it and they’re not committed, you’re not winning. You just can’t.” True at the high school level as well… x.com/slancehoops/st…

@AgathaChocolats Typical Italian family meal setup.

The old barns will be creaking today, leaning slightly as the wind gusts. The sound is very comparable to the ancient wooden ships, being tossed to and fro by the waves.💨🌊🏠⛵️

Berke Büyüktuncel's family flew across the world from Turkey to Oklahoma City to catch his game vs. Vanderbilt ✈️🏀 .@HuskerMBB

Three Midwest teams are through to the Sweet 16, Nebraska, Michigan and Michigan State. Four more on tap today could join them with wins: Iowa, Kansas, Purdue and Illinois.🏀🛳️ #midwest #ruraltourism #NCAA #rootforyourregion
