Farmshoring is a term I've missed but has been around for several years. It describes outsourcing or locating operations in rural areas of the US instead of moving them off-shore. The advantages are:
- fewer cultural or language barriers
- no time zone issues
- lower complexity due to a lack of foreign laws and regulations
- easier to set up and manage
- cheaper and easier travel
- access to a well educated work force at reasonable costs
The Wisconsin Technology Network has a good article on attracting farmshoring business to rural Wisconsin.
I first saw this on the EDpro blog.
