   The idea is that if you go east or west then you probably can plant and   
   harvest the same stuff in your new home that you planted and harvested in   
   your old home....   
      
   ..And if you go north or south then you probably can't, thanks to the   
   likelihood of a climate change being greater - so, the more time you have   
   to spend relearning how to farm and the less time you have to spend on   
   other stuff.
