Economy:
Kansas' agricultural exports are livestock, wheat, soy, and corn. It's a so-called “Grain Belt” state. Kansas is lesser known for its oil production, but it's the 8th biggest oil producer in the United States, pumping out about 2.5 million barrels of crude per month--- it's also the 8th biggest natural gas producer. The state is home to major corporations like Spirit AeroSystems and and Sprint/Nextel, the former being Kansas's largest employer (its second biggest employer is the Fort Riley military base.)

Noteworthy:
Kansas boards of education were the defendants in two seminal court cases. The first was the famous Brown vs. the Board of Education school segregation case, the second came when the state Board voted to stop the teaching evolution in public schools.
