     You can get a good steak in Nebraska, and the best gumbo is in Louisiana, but no state is so closely wound up with a single food as Wisconsin is with cheese. Wisconsin, nicknamed "the Dairy State," doesn't back down from its reputation and Wisconsin residents, nicknamed "cheeseheads," aren't shy about wearing Styrofoam, wedge-shaped hats in public. Of course, when it comes to life in Wisconsin, dairy products are only the tip of the iceberg. But just like a little bit of iceberg can tell you a lot about the rest, Wisconsin's dairy-mania can clue you in to the state and its residents.

     Because it's America's leading producer of milk, Wisconsin has more than its fair share of farms. In fact, most Wisconsin residents live in small towns and even Wisconsin's big cities - Milwaukee and Madison - are comparatively small. Surrounded by unspoiled nature, Wisconsin's residents are outdoor people. In the summer, Wisconsin's thousands of miles of lakes and rivers hum with the sound of pleasure boat engines. And in winter, Wisconsin's backwoods echo the roar of snowmobiles. In fact, for most who live in Wisconsin, hiking through the same landscapes that inspired local architect Frank Lloyd Wright is the next best thing to being handed season tickets to the Packers.
