(Page 2 of

In 1978, the state began Delta Agricultural Project I, creating 22 farms averaging 2,700 acres. In 1982, the Delta II project formed 15 additional farms, averaging more than 1,600 acres. Tracts of 2,000 to 3,600 acres were sold by lottery, and state loans were made available to purchase and clear the land. A marketing program was undertaken for barley exports.
The 70,000-acre Delta Bison Range was created in 1980 to confine the bison and keep them out of the barley fields. Delta's location at the junction of two major highways has also brought development based on services to travelers.
