Hi List,
Farmer Don here... Wonder if I could get some help please?
40=C2=B046'42.77"N - 73=C2=B058'0.83"W
I found a bit of land that I like the look of, with what appears to be a=20
nice water reserve so my animals can drink and I can water the grass.
Being from New Zealand (a farming community a bit below and east of=20
Australia), I'm sorry but I don't know much about regulations to install=20
irrigation systems in the area that I'm quite keen to set up my next=20
farming venture. I'm wondering if anyone can give me some pointers?
Being from Christchurch (site of two massive earthquakes) I know a=20
reasonable amount about demolition now, so I'm not worried at all about=20
the adjacent buildings as we can deal with those as we need to expand=20
the farm.
I'm attracted to this area for a number of reasons, mainly because of=20
the abundant wireless broadband options across the entire property.
I've done some factoring and the cash I can save by not having to invest=20
in my own wireless network spanning across the country will mean I can=20
pay for my new dairy milking shed within 3 years, (unlike the=20
investment I've had to make on a family property in New Zealand where=20
our property was out side of the reach of the local Telephone companies=20
high speed DSL service and we were going to be limited to sub ADSL1 speed=
s!)
After reading this post on NANog and following the link provided, it=20
really struck me as a great place to ask for assistance.
Some may be wondering why I don't want a more rural setting?
I want to be able to enjoy a city life style every day, and I really=20
don't feel that's unreasonable given the rant I hearing about the right=20
to enjoy a rural life style while also having all the quality=20
refinements that an urban city provides.
Further, I don't see why I should have to invest in my community and why=20
others shouldn't be focused and tasked with just doing it for me!
I do hope that my desire to use some of your land for my smelly cows=20
doesn't offend any of you, but I really think my right to enjoy looking=20
at tall buildings every day has to be respected!
Cheers Farmer Don
