Just because they aren't on every single street corner doesn't mean the majority aren't still in the midwest. There are something like 170,000 gas stations in the United States. Less than 3000 sell E85.

Here is the best E85 map that I could find. And the bulk of them are in the midwest with a handful covering other markets:

So while Kansas is (surprisingly) sparse (ditto with Nebraska), go a bit north and east and it becomes a lot more common. Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Michigan have the bulk of the stations.
