Mower County, Minnesota

Mower County is in southeast Minnesota, right on the Iowa border. It’s mostly farmland, flat as can be. The Cedar River runs through it.
Austin’s the main town, famous for inventing SPAM. There’s also a SPAM Museum in downtown Austin with delicious curated meat exhibits.
Farmers work land their families have owned for generations. Some folks drive to Rochester for jobs. It’s simple country living, but that’s its charm. Nothing fancy, just honest Midwest life.
