Lol! I am from red neck country! A little respect, please, we grow your food! : ) Though I do know some that fit the type you speak of.
Slightly off-topic, I recall once I had a friend from CA tell me a story he wanted to write about a "dumb farmer" who finds an alien space ship in his corn field. I thought, 'Dumb? My grandfather won awards for soil conservation!'
So interesting to see where you all are from! I am from rural Iowa, United States. I agree people associate themselves with their state before they do a overall "America" as apart of their identity. I live not far from the state border which, on the other side is Nebraska. Both are farm land states and there are those who strongly identify as "from Iowa" or "from Nebraska".
I plan to move at the end of the year but will probably always associate myself as from Iowa--specifically rural Iowa.
