Primitive living

From my research, it's much easier to immigrate to Canada than it is to get into the U.S. Understandable after 9/11 and all. Canada is actively seeking farmers and offers grants and other incentives. There is a NAFTA trade agreement which makes it very easy for people in certain professions to settle in either country...beekeepers and farmers are on this list. However, it wouldn't surprise me if the gov't here required a diploma in beeology or whatever in order to qualify.

I tried getting into Ontario back in the mid 70s, and they said no way. If I wasnt a doctor, lawyer, or professor, or other professon thery wasnt interested. I had put a down payment on a place through Dignams. Got it back tho. I said it was pretty bad, they took in draft dodgers, but wouldnt take in a veteran. They more or less said, Yup, thats right

I lived in OK. and found the property prices to be reasonable and as said previously taxes and permits are very reasonable. The people tend to be a bit clannish and have some odd mannerisms but not all that bad. You can pretty much build and do as you like on your own property live and let live seems the general out look. The down side is that law enforcement is a bit on the good old boy thing and local politics the same. The weather is mild winters and fairly hot summers. A lot of the soil type is red clay but will grow good crops. Insects and plant diseases are somewhat of a problem but can be delt with . I no longer live there and am now in IL. as have lots of familey here so moved back here. But for what you seem to be interested in OK. might fit the bill.

I wouldn't what anyone thinks if I could buy land for a hundred an acre. I am disabled so I wouldn't have to have a job. Live in the camper until I got a shop built. Live in the shop until I got the barn built. Live in the barn until I got the house built. If I live that long. All I need is the land to start with but if I sold out here, I could buy a few acres and still have money for chickens for eggs and meat, goats for milk and meat, pigs for meat and more meat, I already have seed for a year or two, enough land to raise them on, plant fruit trees, and to start building.
Show me where 50 acres is for 5 K's and we are on the move just as soon as I can sell out. :baby04:
I wish I could find some land for $100 an acre.

Land is cheap here in NE, MT. This are few restrictions as far as I know, but it gets over -40 in the winter. Guess the weather alone keeps many folks weeded out here. There is still cheap land in areas of the lower 48, but to find such a place with decent weather, productive land, and few regulations is tough to do.
