The South Plains is a region in West Texas comprising the portion of the Llano Estacado extending south of the Texas Panhandle, centered at Lubbock. While prominent in the area of petroleum production, the South Plains is mainly an agricultural region, producing a great percentage of the nation's cotton and possessing numerous large cattle ranches. The South Plains is also home to several colleges and universities, the largest being Texas Tech University in Lubbock.

The Caprock Escarpment is generally considered to mark the beginning of the South Plains.

What's the best and worst Mid-Western state to live in (not counting the great plains)?
Q. Here's the list of 8 states to choose from: Ohio, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Wisconsin, Minnesota. The list doesn't include southern states (Kentucky, WV) nor Pennsylvania. The great plains states not included are Kansas, Nebraska, North Dakota and South Dakota.
Asked by Tom - Wed Aug 12 14:36:35 2009 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Best: Minnesota. I live here and like it a lot. There's tons of stuff to do, decently sized cities, but lots of country here, too. It's really pretty, plus we got The Mall. People here are really nice and it's a clean state. And we have real winters here, which aren't too bad once you get used to them. The summers are real hot, though, so there's balance. Worst: Iowa. You didn't mention it, but there's nothing in Iowa. Almost as bad as North Dakota. The worst city would be Gary, Indiana. I've been there and it's SO bad and scary.
