I happened to see a Mother Earth Magazine in the garden section at Walmart, and decided to buy one. It had some interesting articles.
One article that I found interesting was entitiled the best staple crops for building self sufficiency. It has a break down of each region in the US.
My region for the Central/Midwest:
Cabbage: King Cole, Premium Late Flat Dutch
Collards: Champion, Georgia
Dry Beans: Black Turtle, Red Kidney
Grain Corn: Bloody Butcher, Floriani Red Flint, Hickory King
Kale: Beedy’s Camden, Even Star Smooth
Peanuts: Carolina Black, Tn Red Valencia
Potatoes: Butte, Katahdin
Sweet Potatoes: Beauregard, Jewel
Wheat: Marquis, Turkey Red
Winter squash: Sibley, Waltham Butternut
If anyone is curious what they have listed for your area, Just let me know.

Is southeast Texas considered “Central”/Midwest? Or is there something closer? If there is, I’d like the list. Thanks.
