Basin Country Big Horn Basin Irrigation Attracts Farmers
The Big Horn Basin in northern Wyoming near the Burlington line attracts farmers as irrigation proves a money maker. Water is abundant via the Big Horn river and creeks, enabling bumper yields of wheat, oats, and alfalfa. Rail expansion to Powder River will open eastern markets, boosting cultivation, fruit growing, mining, and potential gas industry development. Oil, gas, and gas utilities spread through the Basin, with shrewd prospects for manufacturing and horti culture. H G Shedden The Fruit Grower St Joseph Mo.
