Frustration that we cant buy a farm...

[Roger Perry]

Its impossible to generalize, and talk like the above about some movie star....c'mon guys get real.

You can pay from $250-00 to $100,00-00 per acre..........what do you want to do..........go ranching in New Mexico or grow almonds in California..? Whatever you chose there will a full support system to help you succeed, please do not go on hearsay and speculation...check it out for yourself.

Ali, check out Agday.com for starters.

With a good fleshy cow and calf worth around $2000-00 right now I guess that will pay for a few acres..?

How do the french farmers like british farmers who move over there? I love the french countryside, houses etc but don't think i'd like the french people. I guess picking up the language would take a couple of years.

I suspect you might, actually, prefer residing in rural France than moving to, say, what passes for rural England these days.

And the language is dead easy for Welsh people (even if you don't end up in Brittany) 'cos the accent is straightforward. Learn before you go, if possible.

How do the French take to English moving over and buying farms ??

They don't seem to give much indication of stocking capacity of the farms.

Too far? too hard to retain your Green Card? too expensive for health cover? too much of a culture shock? too expensive to educate your children?

But my cousin worked on a cattle ranch in West Virginia and liked it a lot, other people I know preferred Oklahoma and Kansas as lovely States, Iowa is reputedly the best (once, apparently, the typical 'family farm' State), the Dakotas would like you to go there, Missouri sounds more my cup of tea, Julie's cousin lives in Massachusetts and loves it (altho' he doesn't farm, he's a research chemist from Swansea, but he'll never come back now, what with an American family and all) and my cousin thinks that his home province of Ontario is the place to be.

Maybe they're all right?

I think it would be less of a culture shock than France!

Because nearly all UK farmers already farm under the CAP (PAC in France) which is the basically same system throughout the EU, with many of the concepts (eg the LFA areas, 'les regions moins favorisées') actually emanating from French ideas.

I wouldn't base my decision to move to a country because of their subsidy system which could change at any time!

And probably the most reliant on it out of them all, I wouldn't even consider france, they are so f**ked without sub.

i would have thought emigereating farmers would be glad to get away from the CAP n assoisated red tape

What? The third biggest maize exporting country in the World? Not sure I;d write off the French, I'd be quicker to write off nearly the whole of UK agriculture if the CAP disappeared.

Aye your correct, but I wont be going to france to live, nice countryside though.

Have you ever spent much time in the U.S. Walter..?

Your comments are way out of line with friends who have moved over, green card once issued only needs renewing every ten years and apply for citizenship after five yrs, health care affordable and high quality care in modern facilities (no waiting) culture shock....hmm would that be for you or us.?
