America's breadbasket straddles the Missouri River, with Iowa on the eastern slope and Kansas burying a knee in its back from the southwest. The river's thick, muddy waters and countless tributaries irrigate the world's most fertile farmland. In Iowa, that means corn, hogs and even turkeys. In Kansas, that's winter wheat, sorghum and cattle. Agriculture dictates business in both states, and their land-grant institutions are among the nation's best at cultivating the next crop of farmers.
Farmageddon has never meant more to the contestants, fans or college football, and the series has soared in importance. For just the second time in their century-plus competition, the programs meet. There's that sense of a rivalry between the two schools, and it's always a battle. It's super physical up front. The conditions are always tough. It's definitely a rivalry. I know us as players look forward to it every year.
