It's not the place to live for everyone, but if you like solitude, peace, quiet, great helpful neighbors and independent farming/ranching way of life, it couldn't be better.

Many guys like to restore old tractors, trucks, cars, or old machinery for pastime in slow seasons in their shops. Not for show and tell, but personal enjoyment.

Women can feed a "belly-bustin" meal off the tailgate of a pickup to a harvest crew in the field, change diapers, drive a tractor or grain truck as well as anyone, when needed.

It's weather can give you all four seasons within 24 hrs.

Sadly, it's a dying way of life. Young people are moving to the bright lights and mega-farms/ranchs are taking over.
Sounds good to me. I think any place left like that has the same story to tell. Farming has become another corporate industry, but real farmers being who they are hang on as long as they can
