OK, I did not understand your comment at first.
Not dissing; I simply think ag would be difficult.
Checking your link now.
And THANKS for the tip!
Quoting: darth OK, I read the stories at the link. Jack Spirko, who I listen to, is also a promoter of permaculture. When I think of being a prepper at that altitude with that climate, I am thinking that some fruit trees are possible. A veggie garden will need a greenhouse. Of course, we can also build a barn and board horses for people. I would almost certainly build a good chicken house and yard since I love my fresh eggs more than almost any food that I grow. We rotate chickens through our garden areas here with great success. My chickens clean up the garden while consuming bugs and depositing wonderful fertilizer. BTW, we have about 30 baby geese I just hatched out of the incubator. They would survive the cold climate there just fine as long as I can keep coyotes and bears away from them. Darth, look into the possibility of building a walipini on your new property. It's an old concept and makes wonderful sense. Just watch out for those scorpions in NM! I went to school in Artesia and used to go camping up in Cloudcroft area, extremely beautiful, garden of eden vibes up there! [ link to morningchores.com (secure)] . Excellent idea! Thanks. Yes, NM has scorpions, rattlers, etc. Up where I am looking you have to protect your livestock from the bears. A relative of mine had a home in Ruidoso. She was cooking waffles for our breakfast. Suddenly, there was a commotion of birds out in the back yard. I walked to the sliding glass door which was open. There was a 300 lb. black bear standing there close enough that I could have reached out and touched his nose. He wanted some WAFFLES! I simply closed the glass door and he ran away. No breakfast for bruin.  I live in north Idaho, we have bears up here, too! My trash can lid has teeth marks....
