Montana Land Opening Draw to Distribute Fort Peck Lands
The Fort Peck reservation at Poplar Montana will offer about 1.34 million acres to white settlers this spring under a land drawing system. Prospective homesteaders from across the country will vie for 820 acre plots with first choice awarded to luck rather than speed. Experts predict huge agricultural potential, with projections of record wheat and other crops, boosted by Indian cooperation and a new push toward mechanized farming.
