Where should I move to live off a farm?

/Mike

You should use the Farmers Almanac to check out where might be a good growing zone for you....Check the weather and so on....Next search for land prices www.homeandland.com and see what fits your budget.

Freedom is another way to God...A corrupt government is a straight way to hell.

Indiana residents and voters generally oppose regulation more than their neighboring states (especially in rural areas), there's lots of good farmland, and they definitely have four seasons. The Hoosier state also seems less prone to real estate bubbles. Each county has a "county seat" town that often is small; some of those towns are doing OK, some are suffering these days. I don't live there so I can't help you sort that out; I'm just familiar with it due to family ties & going to college there.

It sounds to me that you and several other DPers could benefit from www.thesurvivalpodcast.com. It's a great production of all things survivalism through a libertarian (small L) point of view. I look forward to my morning commute because of it! Good luck in your decision!

I have compiled an index of the most libertarian countries in the world and an index of the safest countries in the world. I combined them and Estonia came out on top as the safest libertarian country in the world. If you want to know what the rest are, the order was: Chile, Canada, Iceland, Switzerland, Ireland, Slovak Republic, Cyprus and Lithuania. The index is about to change though because all of the 2009 statistics are coming out so I will have to remake it.

But Nebraska might be more to your liking. South Dakota is a really nice place to live (was raised in the Black Hills area). Neither Real ID system nor Patriot Act are currently recognized. One problem though. the Dakotas' growing season is relatively short. Iowa's weather is agreeable to vegetation (warm and humid throughout the growing season). Iowa's also a good place to raise a family.

Up north is a very strong, organized liberty movement, and a lot of cold weather. In the SW there is the "metropolitan" area, but it is the liberal holdout of Idaho. In the remote areas of Idaho, you can find some real gems. Some hot springs, even. This high desert country just needs a little drink and it really blooms, too.
Bad news? Water rights will probably come to a boil soon. Water tables dropping in some pretty crucial locations.

va. 14 acres no neighbors either side . creek,apple tree, plum trees. about half clear half woods. values haven't seemed to drop here much.Actually last we heard they weren't going to raise our assesment much this time lol. See what it says on the web about hanover County Va.. They think they are the sh** . But Citibank cut off our equity line. Bam just like that even though we were ahead on payments. said property values might fall. We weren't even using it. What we owe is 130,000 below appraisal.

Land is around $900 to $2,000 per acre. Where I live the nearest "city" with a mall is 50 miles away. The high point of my property is 2200 feet above sea level and this elevation is common on most of the mountain tops that dot the landscape. Green house growing can get you through November to April and then you can go to the raised beds for summer planting. Raising quail at the moment and getting more birds come April. Come out to Pennsylvania. We are also in the process of taking our local republican party back.

My printer has been on over-drive the last few days since it was shown to me.

Good luck where-ever you choose to go!

Oh, one last thing the ONLY State left that allows for allodial title to land is Texas. I'm glad I'm a Texan!

I think that state has the least regulation.

Talk to someone new every day. You'll be surprised what you learn.

if you're in the usa -- then ideally move to the pacific northwest.

just because of the air quality after the volcanos (yes...that's plural) go.

why?

• Own land 250+ ABOVE sea level. ideally between two mountain ranges. closer or on the east side of a mountain.

• Have a structure below ground that can withstand TREMENDOUS, TREMENDOUS, TREMENDOUS shaking. did i mention tremendous??? the worst you can imagine. ALL over the world. NO one, NO where is excempt.

• Own land AWAY from cities.

• Your land must be able to grow food.

• Store seeds for grains, veggies, grass.

* Supplies for first 2 years -- then 5.

• Your land should be away from ALL bodies of water: oceans, lakes, and even rivers.

• Your land must have a good source of underground water so you can drill a well. Carefully test your water.

• Pick land in areas away from Northern Europe or Eastern USA and Canada.

• Get out of intangible assets.

Get Land, Gold, Food, Water.

Water. Water. Water. It will be THE MOST valuable asset.

I would have to say Montana..A lot of liberty minded folk. The state is leading the country right now in alternative energy. They are big Ron Paul supporters. They want nothing to do with all the BIG government nonsense.

Upstate NY surprisingly still has very cheap real estate for sale.

Maybe check out the free state project in New Hampshire as well..

of some unsuspecting farmer?

Belize. Pretty much the same nice weather year round, cheap land, more liberty than you'll find in the USSA.

You are less of a target in Alaska with relatively few people, plenty of guns and game, snow/ice for drinking water and lots of wide open spaces.

If I were you, I'd order up a few years' worth of survival food, consider doing alternative energy (6 months solar and 6 months wind?) to help ease costs, and check out greenhouse or hydroponic farming techniques. The cost of all these together would be dwarfed by the cost of moving and buying more property. Besides, time is running out and you don't want to be caught between a rock and a hard place (dollar devaluation, for instance) while in the process of relocating to a totally new and strange location where you don't have a single friend..
