Thanks for the perspective from across the pacific. What kind of crops can you grow in Norway? What kind of soil? I have been talking with a Danish Ag robotics company and what I understand about Denmark is soil compaction issues and excessive tillage. We are talking beets/potatoes/maize etc.

It varies a lot. Norway is extremely long north to south[1]. Grass can be grown everwhere, even north of the artic circle. In eastern and middle Norway there's some grain production. In western and eastern Norway there are hotspots (pun unintended, but noticed and kind of valid) where fruit farming is possible. My grandparents did fruit farming (and fishing) in addition to a bit of dairy farming. My dad tried to specialize in dairy farming. I'll try to get back and add some more. [1]: for perspective: from the southernmost part of Norway to the northernmost is about the same distance as from the southernmost point of Norway, in a straight line across Denmark, Germany, the alps and I think all the way down to Rome : -)
