Do not go to New Mexico..... looming water crisis [ link to nypost.com (secure)] Your SA idea was better if you hang in for the waves to pass. Quoting: CleverCreator NM has problems with irrigation water down in the valleys. However, the water in the mountains comes from yearly rain and snow melt replenishing the aquifers. For example, the place I am looking at has over 70 inches of snow fall yearly on average. Ref permaculture, I don't think I can do much of any kind of ag when the night temps in the summer average in the 40s. One of the reasons I looked at New Mexico is that you can find relatively dry, mild weather above 7,000 feet. Farther north that altitude is near tree line. BTW, my father was a cowboy from NM. When he retired he bought a small 825 acre ranch up near Las Vegas. He lived above 6,000 feet but had enough rainfall to grow corn and beans.
