Check out NY if you are looking for farmland. The eastern part along Route 22 has alot of old dairy farms and fields not being used. The west has the scenery but has a limited market for grass finished beef.

Sometime back in the '90s we looking into selling this overpriced real estate and moving to anywhere in the English speaking world. The Northern part of NY state by far had the best production value per acre of all the countries we researched. Choose however to get over ourselves and realise why it is over priced and enjoy where we are.

Well you could always buy a little bar in Glasgow and visit with some of our ranchers.net posters-no matter where you go there are advantages and disadvantages but I don't think any one place is easy streeet or conversely I doubt there is any where it's impossible to make a living. If you aren't afraid to work I'm pretty sure I can hook you up with a ranch job in Montana-I know my rodeo kids get offers every time we drop below the medicine line.

Have you thought about Texas? I am just starting the grass fed calves here and its going pretty good so far. I have already sold 6 calves in about two weeks and I just put an ad in the Houston news paper this coming week. Not many people are doing this around here most people I have talked to around here look at me like I am crazy or something but they will be laughing out the other side of their mouth later. Jobs are here but you just have to hunt a little. The oil industry looks like it's making a comeback now with the prices of oil going back up. Property taxes are not too bad either if you get an Ag exemption on your land. The only bad thing is the Texas HEAT.

I remember one year the college I went to was playing Montana (Sam Houston) and them boys had hell with it in August. So just be really for it. If you did come down here.

Welcome aboard Mr. Bates, I went to college in NY and worked there for a bit, it's where I met my wife. She actually owns a house adjacent to her Mom's property which has some acreage with available acreage next to it, that's near Rochester. I know the Eastern part of the state as well. When the assault rifle ban met its sunset a few years back, NY had their own. The day I moved back to Maine (where I'm from) I put the telescopic stock on my AR-15, it still had to be fixed in NY. NY has a poor political climate, at least Maine has better gun laws. The thing that really caught my attention about Montana was this recent House Resolution declaring state rights, the one allowing guns made in Montana, for sale and use in Montana, won't require a federal background check.

Chances are, I'm stubborn and I'm just going to stand and fight where I am.

Yesterday I saw the neatest sight- a west bound Burlington Northern freight train sitting on a siding- made up completely of flat cars carrying the huge white vanes for wind turbines...Each blade took up 3 1/3 flat cars overlapping---and the entire train was blades as far as I could see...

those blades unloaded about 40 miles from here over by ethridge and went up on Torgerson llc land. someone said he gets over 150K just to have to look at them. i wonder how he sleeps with that noise and those flashing red lights at night - i think i'd get used to it.

For 150K I could get very used to it....Just like I wouldn't even complain if I had one of those dirty oil well horseheads pumping day and night on my lawn :wink:
