Missouri isn’t the Midwest but you are correct in that we store our uprising cheese there
The northern quarter maybe. St. Louis possibly. But, the rest of the state may as well be Alabama.
Ever wonder where the phrase “government cheese” comes from?
Sorry for the YouTube link but this explains not only the phrase, but also the entire think this post is about.
It’s a result of Jimmy Carter’s dairy subsidies. There was a Planet Money episode about it, and the origin of the phrase “government cheese”:

I replied with this lower down then figured it might as well be a top level comment.
Here is a great YouTube video that explains not only this cheese cave, but the reason it even exists and then where we get the phrase “government cheese” from and the whole government program of propping up the dairy industry.
Can you in metric?
