If you can grow wheat there, it's the prairie. Therefore the Midwest. Just how the eastern parts of Colorado are the furthest west parts of the mid west. Unless you want to exclude the prairie states entirely from the mid west, which i wouldn't do.

That has never been the definition of the Midwest. If you want to go by the census definition, you are wrong.

If you approach if from a cultural or demographic standpoint, you are still wrong.

I would argue that the Midwest ends at the banks of the Mississippi river and maybe carries halfway into the western states. Past that it is a whole nother place.

Montana is mountain west or west. Always has been.
