    Irrigation on the Crow Reservation / tribal and community benefits of the proposed Hardin Unit, Big Horn County, Montana by Raymond Eugene Borton A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Agricultural Economics Montana State University © Copyright by Raymond Eugene Borton (1964) Abstract: Irrigation on the Crow reservation is a complex problem involving groups and institutions as well as economic considerations. This thesis shows the background and current status of the problems which must be considered in making development decisions and plans for the Hardin Unit, This 42,600 acre project is to be made possible by the Yellowtail Dam, now under construction. Tribal benefits from the Hardin Unit depend on the solution of complex heirship problems and Indian administration policies. Development and operation of irrigated land by Indians would require extensive changes in education, credit, employment and attitudes. The indirect benefits to be gained by the Hardin community are considered, Business expansion through farm and non-farm population is the basis for measurement. The benefits are compared to the indirect costs including income foregone and social expenses. This investigation prompts the following recommendations: (1) Land ownership may be simplified through an expanded tribal purchase program and by revision and passage of the Church Bill in Congress.
