I don't think he meant "farm states" as "the midwest", By farm states I think he meant not only nebraska and Kansas, but also states like Alabama or Arkansas or Montana that aren't in the midwest. You probably mixed this up with the post by Jester which talks about the political diversity,
And got it mixed up with the post before this.
This stereotype of the midwest being boring is probably the reason you have crime shows set in places like New York (too many to count), Los Angeles (never seen one actually, but it seems like the type of place), Miami, Hawaii (that new one), or Las Vegas (first CSI), but never in cities like Chicago (kind of strange since Chicago is so big), Cleveland, St. Louis, or Detroit for example, and never in a million years in somewhere like Omaha or Iowa city, thanks to the stereotypes. (I've never been to Omaha or Iowa city, so I don't know what they're actually like, but the stereotype is there).
Edit: said what the stereotype was.
