I moved home to Texas from Orange County, CA in 1975. Texas is a right to work state and the economy here seems to be better than a lot of other states. The construction trades seem to be dominated by Latinos especially around metropolitan areas. They have not migrated out to my rural area as of yet. The lifestyle here is much slower than CA and there will be some culture shock if you land here. Homes in Texas are a bargain and land can still be purchased, although prices are going up. Farming is generally done by the big boys or the old timers that know everybody, or so it seems. We have no state income tax.

We have had some rough times as far as the weather. Droughts and wild fires have taken a toll, but we now seem to be getting some rain. By far we are a conservative state with a few pockets of liberalism - politically speaking.

There is rich black farm land in central Texas, very sandy soil with lots of pine trees in East Texas, desert in West Texas and lots of farming in the Panhandle area.

Getting out of Ca no matter where you land will probably be the smartest move you can make.

I did my get out of dodge move a year ago. We left the city and moved out into "rural America". I hope you find yourself a little kingdom like my wife and I have. Please keep this thread updated as to where you settle, so I can keep cheering you on.

Between the farm subsidies and all the factors driving the price of corn and wheat, dirt farming can be quite profitable. Dairy farming is tough. And starting into farming as a way to support a family is almost impossible due to the high cost of farmland. But if you are part of a farming family, and grow corn and grain, it's not a bad gig these days.

Must be very different down there with subsidies then ! Dairy is probably the best here .

If you want to get a farmer's BP up, ask him how much he gets in subsidies. They really, really hate the EWG database that's on the web.
