Slop the hogs? While New York State residents get their hackles up if 
referred to as 'New England' agriculture where I grew up was primarily 
dairy and apples. You grow what you can. There are quite a few dairy farms 
in this area too.

Jared Diamond's 'Collapse' focuses in part on western Montana. You can 
grow much besides hay and even that ability is fragile according to him. 
Of course, he also theorizes the Norse left Greenland after the climate 
deteriorated because they wouldn't eat fish. The American Anthropological 
Society produced 'Questioning Collapse', a selection of essays pointing 
out the errors in Diamond's 'science'.
