So a farm in Lordsberge delivering to Deming or to Las Cruces does (of course mobile BP is always a possibility) have to go through a permanent check point? Yes or No?

In my mind that would be the way to go you could hit two semi and one heavily populated area.

However there is such a large population base in Las Cruces that that in it self should be enough of a customer base to grow (no pun intended) into with out trying to distribute product west.

As far a Cartels I do not think at this time they will think of the operation as a big threat. I mean they have a huge customer base while the producers only have 1K people for the whole state. My real concern would be robbery (perhaps from the Cartels) similar to what happened in California. Besides all they can do is beat me up, torture, and kill me. The Feds can lock me up and that would be worse than death it self.
Bottom line: Your best bet to open up a Production for the Las Cruces area would be to locate it on the other sside of a checkpoint,then DELIVER to the LC area and only transport as much as you are delivering.That way you have nothing left when you return and go through the checkpoint.
