The most important issue... Is rainfall.
You average like a foot of precipitation less than here, and our droughts are fearsome!
I'm in the sandhills, and the sand is a hundred foot + deep.
If your sand is only a foot deep with clay underneath, you would be in good shape.
If you have caliche under an inch of sand, you would be in very dire straits.
There are varieties of desert vegetables that you could grow out there,but I think you should give up any plans of growing the traditional thirsty eastern crops.
There are seed sources that provide desert adapted varieties.... Good place to start from....
