The Department of Agriculture and the Missouri River Basin

No 329101, USDA Miscellaneous from United States Department of Agriculture

Abstract: Excerpt from the report: This document has been prepared for the use of the Missouri Basin Inter-Agency Committee. It is primarily a summary of the interests and activities of Department programs affecting resource use and development in the Missouri River Basin. The document includes also a statement of what appear to be the more significant agricultural objectives and problems that need to be reached or solved as part of the comprehensive development of the Basin, not only in relation to the estimated 50,000 farms to be directly reached by the projected irrigation developments, but also in relation to the many millions of acres and half-million other farms and ranches in the Basin which these developments will reach less directly, some only remotely. It is hoped that the following information, although general in nature, will be helpful to the Committee in its important assignment of facilitating the coordinated development of the Basin.
