No. I am saying (with definition) that not 100% of the major metro areas populations have 'Northern' attributes.

As you population break-down would seem to indicate that assumption.

Please correct me if I am wrong about that.

Perhaps that area is so darn sandy that irrigation is necessary regardless of above normal rainfall.

Here in central MN, we have areas of heavy black soil and a few areas of lighter soil that irrigates. Very little irrigation was done this year.

Main reason is not conserving water , but running irrigators aint cheap ( $$$$$)

(referring to Geechie's comments about seeing irrigators running )

Its a recipe, you realize that, right?
Because both are describing artifacts (anthropoligical definition.)

Offering a recipe as proof of 'Non-Southernness' is just erronious.

Especially when you look at Neu (perhaps it's 'New') Braunfels, Texas.

Turns out that we use irrigation equipment a little differently in the Midwest...

To get back on track, I have seen those all over Missouri, and even here in Florida, there is a gentleman not far up the road with a dairy farm that does the exact same thing.

Well, then I'll assume (cause I can't read you thoughts) that it IS the 'Corn Belt' poster.

And I offered him as a counterbalance to the poster who said (on the thread) that Missouri is Southern.

Something that is in heavy use today is not an artifact.
Get your archeological terms straight.
You can get that recipe (and a million variations of it) all over the Mississippi Hills region.

Yeah, it is sandy (Central Sands).

One big esker and the bottom of a huge glacial lake.

But if that's the case, one of two outcomes seem probable:

1. Potatoes are gonna be unprofitable longterm.

2. The average precip will have to rise, or the rivers will become seasonal.

Okay, so you're saying that EVERYONE in that specific area of Missouri- which must by definition- include at least 51% of the total state population uses that (and other) German recipes on a regular basis.

And that somehow makes the area 'Non-Southern', as there are NO significant German communities in the South.

I gotta see the data which proves this.

Please post same.

Anthropology, not Archeology.
