Water Rights, Cattle and Farming All have One Thing in Common, Farmers

When I asked around town where does the food come from I got a single answer "The Grocery Store" and a look as if I was an idiot for asking!

Farming and farm transition land has a bright future, but not without water rights.

Without the guys and girls out there running these operations, the folks in the grocery stores would wonder where all the food went. They complain about produce quality, they complain about freshness, they complain about prices, but what do you think they would say if there was not any to chose from at all? Do you think they understand what it takes to get it to them, and fresh?

America is going to have to wake up. In the 1930's most were relatively self sufficient. They had a small garden, some chickens, and maybe a milk cow. The world could sorta drift by and they would get by. Today we are urbanized, matter of fact, the west is the most concentrated urbanized areas in the whole country.

What do you think will happen when the next big earthquake hits and the trucks can not keep the stores stocked, or God forbid something worse.

Better be living on the farm or at least know some folks that do and are willing to share a room with you. Sounds a little far fetched to you, I don't think so.

As a real estate man of over thirty years, this has been coming a long time. I believe the next big push for many younger boomer will be to get out of those urban situations and into a small self sufficent sitaution. Little truck farms on two to five acres. A place they can grow some food, raise some chickens, maybe have a cow or a hog.

I am not a green adjenda guy by any means, but wasting good warm sunshine seems like wasting anything else to me. Hence I believe they will build passive solar smaller homes easy to heat and cool. They will look for independence, like our founding fathers freedom to be individuals.

This attitude is coming and not just becuase it makes sense but because the governmet is scaring people into a new awy of thiniking.

If you would like more information on investing in transition land with water rights for future developments, call me. I have some extremely nice parcels listed that are prime for those little independent truck farms.
