State-aware framing

Missouri ag economy spans row-crop in the northern and central tier, cattle operations statewide, and a distinct rice / cotton / soybean profile in the Bootheel. Lender portfolios typically blend row-crop operating credit with cattle operating lines.

Kansas is the core of the U.S. HRW wheat belt, a major cattle state, and carries meaningful irrigated row-crop acreage in the west. Drought and moisture cycles are a persistent backdrop to both the wheat crop and the cattle / stocker economy.

A cross-state comparative read across the Midwest, Plains, Delta, and Northern Plains. Useful for portfolios with multi-state exposure or for understanding how a single national signal plays differently across regions.
