Here's an angle no one mentioned yet...
Keep in mind the amount of environmental destruction the "power structure" is responsible for vs. individuals. From suppressing alternative energy and vehicles to subsidizing poisonous farming methods.
And the most damaging: Geoengineering via bunker fuels deployed by ships and God only knows what from planes.
We can fine tune our lives all day...and it won't even make a dent if the above atrocities are ignored and allowed continue.

I just ordered P. nigra bamboo seeds. They are rated to zone 7. Has anyone grown them in zone 6? And do the shoots need to be boiled twice before consuming?

That is great information! I also liked the suggestion to order from azure standard. And I've been looking on etsy. Are the red ones much different in taste or growing preferences?

This time of year it's iffy. I ordered a bag of them in the late summer/early fall a couple of years ago from Azure Standard, sold as groceries, planted in my garden

They are a seasonal thing, don't store a long time, not sure if any exist this time of year.

Great idea thank you!

I've never been to Indiana so I wasn't sure. Also, how is property taxes in Illinois? I assumed it would be higher than Missouri or Indiana.

Thank you both for the great responses. I'm thinking just West of the Evansville area. So that should be a lot like Southern Illinois. I hope it's not too flat! I grew up near Cape Girardeau MO where there are plenty of hills. And Utah is a nice mix of flat farmland, hills and mountains. I was surprised by the ecological diversity.

Now for the long process of house hunting. Seems fixer uppers are tricky to finance. But I'm not giving up.

Hi!
 My family and I currently live in Utah on an Indian reservation, but we'd like to move closer to my parents. I'm looking at Southwest Indiana as a possibility. Can anyone tell me more about it? I've been looking at homes for sale with a few acres and the prices seem fair. From the photos the land looks pretty flat. I was hoping for some hills but that's okay if not. I suppose the next step is to find out about property taxes, and which areas are higher in crime.
 Thank you, EmiLeah
