Hello there from the southern front range! My wife and I looked at property down there and I definitely understand your challenges! We are on year 4 and have learned a lot and going progress! This year seems to be the year of Perma culture. And trying to find easier ways to do hugles and swales. Truly amazing watching the soil composition change over time! Wind blocks and chicken tractors (actually just wrapped up the tractor this morning!) Still trying to get more tress going. Life is good and keep up the good fight!
