Brent, I would strongly incourage you to look outside of CA. I grew up in San Diego, lived in Orange, Simi Valley, Bakersfield, Petaluma, San Jose, and Sonoma. I've been all over the state, and it's a great place. However, there are coming infrastructure problems that may cause you to be on the hook for the financial burdens that might make a huge difference in your way of life.
I have property in NM, CO, TX, and still some in CA. I live most of the time in TX, but also spend a lot more time in northern NM.
As for being in a flood plain, is it defined by the FEMA people? Because, they have the craziest flood plain maps in the world.

Anyway, keep looking and widen your horizon outside CA. I think you'll be shocked there are other nice places in the country.

As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
