I have to ask because I'm ready to leave the wet side of this state, and buy 100 or so acres in Eastern Washington. I hate the faster pace of life and neighbors who stare with blank looks when you wave at them over here. Over here, everyone seems too busy to give a hand to another who is in need, and when you do stop to help them, they either act like you owe them and leave without thanking you or they'll rob you after you help them! On the dry side of this state, I've been given change for gas I bought over a year prior. At the time, I figured I wasn't going to bug them for 75 cents. When I passed through a little over a year later, the clerk remembered and gave me the change.
I recieve a veteran's compensation, so I should be able to make ends meet if I have to support the farm, but I would rather the farm make me and my two daughters little spending cash.
Any ideas on what to farm or ranch on 100 or so acres to help make ends meet? How about leasing the land to other farmers?
Oh! I have another question; What kinds of things should I look out for when I buy this land? Water or irrigation rights? well depth? Anything else?
