Thank you for the encouragement! It's really inspiring to see fellow plant nerds on Steemit. Sorry to hear about your lease mishap. We got really lucky and found a great spot through ifarm. It's a rad matchmaking service between landowners and farmers in need of a land! Then we graduated off to a farm incubator program called Headwaters. It's supported by the county's soil and water conservation district. Perhaps there is something similar in Colorado?

Anyway, I'm happy to be following you too!!! Cheers <3
