i plant to make a trip to see my relatives in BC fairly soon and might head across to washington or maybe oregon , thier are other places which might be more suitable but the north west seems the obvious choice
I'm not in the US, I'm in Canada but there are lots of Europeans here who have sold their small-by-North-American-standards farms and immigrated here and bought large farms, and good equipment for what they received for their small European farms.
Prices vary a great deal for land depending on where you are prepared to go, but what wouldn't buy you a farm in Europe can certainly buy you a farm somewhere in N. America.
IrishBob mentioned someone was going to start a -------5,000 acre pasture based DAIRY in the US.
That is what I was responding to in my post immediately after his.
Please try to keep up !
No, he said a 5000 COW, pasture-based dairy. That doesn't necessarily translate to a 5000 acre pasture.

I think I'm keeping up just fine, thanks...
Since it takes OVER an acre per cow ( of even excellent pasture ) a 5,000 cow pasture based dairy certainly would translate to more than 5,000 acres of pasture.

Any good dairy operation will supplement with hay and silage.
