My favorite thing is that Lincoln is apparently counted as a "rural" place.
A friend who grew up near Dallas had a penpal growing up who asked him if he rode a horse to school.
I knew people who worked cattle on horseback. Not like for fun. That was how they earned a living.
I don't really know what's happening in the really rural areas since people like me and Tim Walz left.

Sounds very like the 1939 evacuation programmes. Lots of tiny East Enders who had never seen a cow turning up in rural Wiltshire etc. And even pre war there were charities like the Fresh Air Fund in various countries.

Unless they had issues beyond having never seen a cow.
