Rock Port appears to be just west of Maryville north of St Joseph which is north of Kansas City
I would not assume the article is misleading unless there is clearly demonstrated cause to form that view. Just because some wind sites are 30% by BWEA standards, some capacity factors might reasonably be expected to be lower and some higher. Rockport appears to be in a Class 3 wind area, so to expect higher than average winds might not necessarily be unreasonable.
