I'm in rural IL atm. I've thought that you can pretty much do whatever you like outside the city limits, and my cousin assures me that this is the case. I mean... it's legal to have all manner of livestock on rural land, and it's kinda hard to outdo something like a hogfarm in the neighborly annoyance category. Buy a couple acres tucked back in the trees somewhere, and nobody will care what you do. Wooded land is ~$5-10k/acre I'm told. Farm land is a bit more.
Plenty of water, no need to irrigate for most crops. Easy wells.
Electric.
Paved roads.
Never far from a viable town for supplies.
Humid and kinda hot and buggy in summer.
Dreary cold winters.
Here the highs are high 80s in July, high 30s in Jan.
Might appeal to somebody. I suspect much of the midwest is like this. TN and KY might be nicer, especially if you look at higher elevation.
