Jersey...Are you planning to work or are you retired???
I grew up about an hour from the Outer Banks and live near Greensboro now...In the meantime, I called on Deere dealers so there isn't much of the State I haven't at least spent the night in or been through...
But as you know, a fellow has to have money to play...Farm land in the east is still relatively cheap...While with Deere plenty of folks from up north would sell their house and have enough left over for a small farm down here...
