Irrigation Spurs Land Value Growth Near Billings Montana
The Living Spring ranch southwest of Billings, once owned by Judge James R. Goss, sold for 42 000 dollars at 175 dollars an acre, illustrating how irrigation boosted Yellowstone county land values since 1900. Judge Goss and Paul McCormick recalled predicting city-area land would reach 50 dollars per acre amid skepticism. The ranch, homesteaded 1882 and bought for 12 60 per acre in 1902, became highly productive, yielding 14 tons of beets per acre in 1913 on 93 acres.
