Its not that good of a place.If you need a good hospital you have to go to Columbia or Kansas City.I dont know what you are looking for,pasture land,want to grow crops,some kind of place where there is good fishing?I mean describe better what you are looking for.Going South once you get past Sedalia there is not much but poor to fair pastureland in the Central part.Now over by Lamar there seems to be some fair farmland but you would have to study it real well to see if its what you want.By being from up in decent farmland this low quality pasture land might be disappointing. Also its kind of fun to joke around about hillbillies and stuff,but there are places down south in Missouri that they get kinda bad.I mean unless you have been to Arkansas and stayed there a couple of days and seen what people joke about as far as hillbillies,it might not be your ideal place to live.There are good places everywhere too.Good farming ground close to rivers,but it also floods a lot here.Lots of people come here,buy some land and build a house close to a creek or river somewhere and after a while it gets flooded.If you raise livestock you probably need to get up by the Missouri river.Land prices will be higher but grass land will feed 2 or 3 or more times the cattle as down south.There is some real good cropland close to the Missouri river and the Mississippi River but it wont be cheap. Plus we are probably more Southern than you are used to.If you have a New England accent you are going to stick out around here.Plus there is a good hunk of the state thats hilly and there are even low mountains kid of down by Salem.That is some hilly country and the roads arent the best,but if you look good you might find some good farmland.Good farmland for the most part is further north.Way up in the north east part its kind of hilly there too but roads are better than way down south and they arent great.
Missouri is a big State.There is definitely something for everybody here.You may need to look hard to find it,but its around here someplace.
About that Southern stuff.I dont talk anything like I write on this forum.I went to a country school and learned my reading and writing and stuff but I have a definite southern way of talking.Everybody here does.Im only 120 miles from Iowa and they call me a hick from Missouri but Im 160 miles from Branson.I dont think people from the deep south would call me a Yankee but they have a different way of talking than we do up here.I know by driving a truck there is a lot of difference in the way people talk.I about needed a translater to talk to people from Iowa sometimes and listening to the CB in Minnesota is painful to me sometimes.They talk so fast and are say stuff so backwards its kind of like a foreign language.Closer to Canada the worse it gets,EH?

Today's Featured Article - Field Modifications (Sins of the Farmer) - by Staff. Picture a new Chevrolet driving down the street without it's grill, right fender and trunk lid. Imagine a crude hole made in the hood to accommodate a new taller air cleaner, the fender wells cut away to make way for larger tires, and half of a sliding glass door used to replace the windshield. Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
