My dad's side of the family is from western (north and south) Arkansas, the state starts to feel entirely different once you get into cotton country on the Delta side of Arkansas, like a totally different state.

Yeah, eastern Arkansas really is a completely different "state", but hugely important for Arkansas economically (esp. with food prices on the rise). The Delta region is also one of the poorest areas of the United States, in terms of both economy and education levels.
