Hi List,

Farmer Don here...  Wonder if I could get some help please?

 40°46'42.77"N -  73°58'0.83"W

I found a bit of land that I like the look of, with what appears to be a
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
Australia), I'm sorry but I don't know much about regulations to install
irrigation systems in the area that I'm quite keen to set up my next farming
venture.  I'm wondering if anyone can give me some pointers?

Being from Christchurch (site of two massive earthquakes) I know a
reasonable amount about demolition now, so I'm not worried at all about the
adjacent buildings as we can deal with those as we need to expand the farm.

I'm attracted to this area for a number of reasons, mainly because of 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 in
my own wireless network spanning across the country will mean I can pay for
my new dairy milking shed within 3 years, (unlike the investment I've had to
make on a family property in New Zealand where our property was out side of
the reach of the local Telephone companies high speed DSL service and we
were going to be limited to sub ADSL1 speeds!)

After reading this post on NANog and following the link provided, it 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 don't
feel that's unreasonable given the rant I hearing about the right to enjoy a
rural life style while also having all the quality refinements that an urban
city provides.

Further, I don't see why I should have to invest in my community and why
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
doesn't offend any of you, but I really think my right to enjoy looking at
tall buildings every day has to be respected!

Cheers Farmer Don
