I'm from Idaho. So the first answer is, yes a lot of people there are. School is meant to hit legal requirements sorta while training kids to take over the farming business from their parents. Second answer is south Idaho is basically flat deserty farmland with lots of wind, cattle, and small farming towns. It can feel very Midwest in that sense even if it is pretty far from the official Midwest border

I suppose that's a fair way to look at it if you're considering the "functional" definition of Midwest (farming-based flyover states) instead of the geographic location
