A little bit east of Childress things start getting nicer, and at Dallas/Austin/San Antonio things start getting REALLY nice. I flew to Pecos, Eagle Pass, El Paso, Amarillo, etc. It is literally a wasteland mixed with a shitload of gas and oil wells. You can buy land for 35 bucks an acre by Pecos, though. |

The good thing about Dalhart, though, is that it's good potato growing land. Obviously good for cattle too.

I'm lucky. I haven't grown much of a goddamn thing, but I've only had to go out and try to stop one field from blowing. |

It's not especially good for cows. It is good for feedlots. It's so dry runoff isn't a problem, and the feral water dries up so fast, the disease stays down some. |

Our soils up here have better water holding capacity, so (in the event that it ever ****ing rains again) it won't be that bad. The sandy soils though ..
But we're different up here. On my farm the water is all but gone already. |
