I moved from Germany to Russia to start a farm, land is cheap, an old log cabin can be purchased for 2000 USD, I have 40 dairy goats grazing free in the wilderness, no fences, no neighbors, no problems besides some wolves here and there killing some goats, we grew garlic, cabbage and potatoes, raised thousands of meat chicken a season but we would hardly survive. Money is becoming scarce lately among many people so for the price you need to survive no one is going to buy your produce. We have a shop in town where we still sell our own dairy products but we have to resell other industrial made products to stay afloat. We are keeping the farm so that when one day society goes into armageddon mode, we can still thrive for a long time without any money, supermarket, electricity...
If you a big piece of land stick to only 2 productions garlic and potato and make/hire one selling point in in the crowded place, sell only those 2 products throughout year on retail price and hopefully you ll see a positive result, selling point selection is important after production.
I enjoy all your videos. Good information. I'm in the Houston/Galveston TX areas. Sucks.... Damn people moving in like crazy. My wife and I of 30 years are looking in the Louisiana area around Kinder through New Roads. Land is a lot cheaper. Looking for around 100 acres for farming and to build a small home or one that's already established. Any good ideas? I appreciate it.
@@butch1963 OK. I mentioned you to my wife and she enjoys your video's too. We have another 3 years before we can get the hell out of here. In the meantime, we will find something around your area. I know the price of land has gone crazy up! Take care brother!
It used to be cheap. But now the only Cheap land there is very for in the province. I was just there last month and went to look at land. The affordable land I found was a 10 hour ride on a bus to get there. I'm 61 years old and need to be a little closer to a hospital than that. If anything happened I would be dead before I ever made it to a hospital.
I seen those videos you were talking about. Make all this money on a postage stamp size property. That's called click bait. Then I've seen videos where it looks impossible to make a living on ag.because prices are low, in puts are expensive, market too far away. I'm still going to buy some property in ruel Arkansas. Raise rabbits, chicken, sheep. Terrible at gardening.I was a meat cutter and a plumber before retirement. professionally.
You are dead correct, Butch. There is no good economics to small farms anymore. Where I live (it is not corn country, but cooler, dryer, worse soil) a person needs at least 640 acres to raise say 50 cow/calf pairs; and there is not much net income in small herds anymore either. Just ask the banks who are foreclosing on some of their smaller customers. (Those were sure nice vegetables you grew there, Butch!).

I hear you. Never sell your land. people make a lot of things in this world but you cant make more land.
If you a big piece of land stick to only 2 productions garlic and potato and make/hire one selling point in in the crowded place, sell only those 2 products throughout year on retail price and hopefully you ll see a positive result, selling point selection is important after production.
Bless you. Good Luck

I live on the east side of Louisiana. I don't know much about the Kinder area.

Good deal I hope the best for you. I've been trying to get my son to go into the meat cutting for years, its a dying trade

Thanks, I have always put my heart and sole into my farm and have just scraped by a living.
