We have great land prices in the farming communities, good cattle prices, and the goats sell well to places like houston where the hispanic population is large. My family has been farming for years, they live about 40 miles outside of Waco in a place called Rosebud. Very small town, and very nice people. Plenty of good land available with the economy doing what it is, but very few employment opportunities if you are not self sufficient. Just a thought, take a look at prices in some of the small town newspapers to see if it catches your eye..--Answer2:skip wisconsin, taxes are too high texas is good, excellent good!.--Answer3:Check one of the New England States
