Book Description
Agriculture developed into Montana's top industry from humble beginnings. In 1841, Father De Smet planted a small plot at St. Mary's Mission. Thomas Harris, the territory's first farmer, harvested oats at Fort Owen for sustenance and trade in 1854. Within thirty-five years, beef and wool were being exported out of the territory to satisfy national and European demands. In the intervening years, the mechanical engine and rural electrification dramatically transformed agribusiness. Billings became home to America's largest monthly horse sale. And the modern cooperative model is lauded for sustaining agricultural operations and rural communities. With untold and forgotten stories, the American Doorstop Project co-founders and authors Jody L. Lamp and Melody Dobson spotlight the technological advancements and legacies of those who blazed trails, broke sod and built farms and livestock ranches that shaped the Treasure State's agriculture history.

Book Description
Excerpt from Montana Farm Review, Vol. 1: Montana Statistical History of Agriculture, Annual Crop and Livestock Review for 1922 In this, Volume I of the Montana Farm Review, the first publication of its kind relating to Montana Agriculture, an effort has been made to group under one cover in convenient form for ready reference all available accurate information properly embodied in such a booklet. In some cases historical data are incomplete, and it is not feasible to make such a publication altogether inclusive. Such statistics as are presented in this volume are not only interesting in themselves, but reflect the development of the various phases of agriculture, the changes which have taken place, the trend of activities, and form a basis upon which to lay plans for future developments of agriculture and other industries of the state. It is planned to make this an annual publication, subsequent issues to include only reports for the current year, with comparative data. Records of the past and a knowledge of present conditions are necessary to all forms of business enterprises. This applies particularly to the business of farming, the largest of the nation's industries. Facts relative to acreage and production of crops, to live stock and live stock products, to the supply and demand for these commodities, to prices, markets, and other factors affecting general conditions, both past and present, should be available to farmers and their leaders, to assist them in determining proper and profitable courses to follow in the complex scheme of production of food and clothing. This booklet relates only to the production side of the problem in Montana. Bases All figures in this volume are official estimates of the Division of of the crop and Live Stock Estimates (formerly Bureau of Statistics and Bureau of Crop Estimates) of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the United States Department of Agriculture, except where other wise noted. The bases for such estimates are the decennial Federal Census and the annual state farm census collected by county assessors, supplemented by various forms of checks and by monthly information furnished by a corps of more than voluntary crop and live stock reporters within the state. It will be noted that some material has been taken from the statistics of the Federal Census Bureau. This has been done be cause the Census furnishes the most recent and reliable information available upon certain subjects.

Book Description
Growing up on the family ranch, Linda Finley fought hard to gain the acceptance and respect as a ranch hand that her brothers took for granted. Arlene Pile barely remembers learning to ride a horse and run machinery--she was so young. She learned to drive on an 8N Ford tractor with a buck rake. Lee Jacobsen became the first woman in the state licensed to artificially inseminate cattle. Meet these and other Montana women passionate about caring for their land and determined to make the lifestyle their own. Many never doubted for a moment that they would spend their lives in agriculture, while others speak of their surprise and delight to find themselves living on the land. All agree that they wouldn't be happy doing anything else.
