Babson Advises California or Florida as Winter Havens
Babson weighs where farmers in the Central West should spend winters. California offers vast resources but high prices and few bargains for modest buyers, while Florida lacks coal and oil yet promises sun and smaller homes in expanding cities. For retirees with steady income, Florida appears favorable, especially in affordable, near-coast towns.
