Montana pre-research tips

[plinio.lisboa.br]

Good morning today we will not say too little.
We will only present 9 locations where there is wind energy production in the state of Montana in the United States.

I believe that there must be many other places, but what I managed to research for this. I hope it is useful.

By the way, much of this material for these Montana projects is manufactured in a very distant state, in: Iowa.
Researching I identified two methods of transporting the materials to the wind farms producing energy in the state.
1. the first method is traditional road haulage based on this Iowa state plant.

2. the second method of transport by rail to a city in the state of Montana, where the special railroad wagons are transferred or transferred from the wind blades to the transport trucks. Use of cranes in the transfer of wind load.
Then trucks transport to the final assembly destination. This is also true for concrete towers, and all other parts of the wind towers and their turbines.

Comment: During the research it was quite difficult to find this information, and the theoretical location of the factories of this company.

It must also be said that; I'm not entirely sure if the Bozeman, MT, plant is still in operation.
I understand from the translation of the news (reference) the factory was closed and the equipment moved to Manhattan, MT.

Either way, it's a good research tip for this Manhattan factory to be in the game.

These types of products (colderes and others) are sold in several stores in the United States, in large chain stores.

Because as we know in the United States, access to the possession and possession of weapons is very easy (one of the factors of being a safe country for civilians).
Tactical equipment can be divided into accessible to civilian citizens and another accessible governmental category (army and police).

Tactical products: https://blackhawk.com/

Authorized resellers: https://blackhawk.com/authorized-dealers/


Suggestion:
So it would be a new innovation in the game with new types of products to ATS for some large chain stores in the world "U.S.A -ATS".

This small Manhattan city can be a scenic city.
The factory must be a playable place.
Because it is very close to the highway, and very far from the largest city in Montana nearby which is Bozman city.

And it has good connections with the I-80 highway.

Listed below are 10 ranches in the city of Manhattan in the state of Montana


Highlight beef cattle breeding cracks, and its main destination is for sale at cattle auctions (for other breeders). Selling to refrigerators in smaller quantities.
Milk production also stands out. Soon we will make another post, talking about specialized agricultural farms, and mixed farms (agriculture associated with cattle breeding).

As you can see from the Google Maps images, the region stands out for the existence of irrigation and in livestock there is a demand for feed and hay.

Agriculture - Manhattan, MT, U.S.A

Good night!

Today we are going to share the promised bit of Agriculture in the city of Manhattan, MT, a large producer of potato seeds that is exported to several American states and also some countries in the world.

Link number 1 and link number 2 below tell a story of the city of Manhattan in terms of economic and agricultural development.
1 https://www.taunyafagan.com/manhattan-montana/

2 http://bozemanmagazine.com/articles/201 ... al_history

Link 3 and link 4 are related to the US government's agriculture statistics for the state of Montana and its counties.

https://www.nass.usda.gov/Publications/ ... /index.php


In summary, the economy of this southwestern region of the state of Montana is based on the production of seed potatoes with crop rotation of: wheat, corn, soy (in lesser quantities). Hay production is also very important. Because the region is home to a large herd of beef and dairy cattle. Sheep are now in far fewer numbers than in the past.
Barley production has been very important in the past in the region for the production of beer today the potato is being used for the production of beverages in the region.
It is also important to mention that the city of Manhattan, MT, is the potato producing capital in the state of Montana, it is also considered the national capital of the United States in the production of potato seeds, especially in its districts of Amsterdam and Churchill. In these districts we will even find dealers of agricultural machinery, and they are well developed and urbanized districts.

"Potato shipments are shipped to producers in Idaho, Washington, Oregon, Nebraska and Wisconsin." The Associated Press March 22, 2007.
Link: https://billingsgazette.com/news/state- ... bda62.html

Farmers in southwest Montana planted 5,500 acres of potatoes in 2007, producing about 180 million pounds in the harvest, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. In 2019 it registered an area of 10,440 acres.
reference https://www.potatogrower.com/2020/01/at-the-source
reference https://billingsgazette.com/news/state- ... bda62.html

So we must hypothetically admit that the total potato production for 2019 in Montana was approximately 360 millionof pounds.

This document shows in more detail the companies in the state of Montana that produce seed potatoes.
This allows SCS Software to create the potato seed market for the ATS game in more detail.

http://www.montanaspud.org/documents/ne ... 20copy.pdf

Some countries to which potato seed produced in the state of Montana are exported include: Thailand, South Korea, Nicaragua Brazil.
To follow the news from the world of Agriculture in the production of potatoes, and also seed potatoes.
Potato machinery, innovations and scientific research. It is always good for SCS Software to be following, to update its games in the aspect of agriculture and cargo trade, it is the specific newspaper of potato producers in the world, link: https://www.potatonewstoday.com/
with such weight in the economy of the Southwestern State of Montana the cultivation of Potato also ended up winning its own cultural festival in the city of Manhattan;

-- Potato farms --
The Southwestern region of Montana from the point of view of Agriculture is a transition zone to the specialized areas of wheat in the State. The region is heavily influenced by the state of Idaho in the agricultural sense. The link below has a PDF explaining the history of potato cultivation in the state of Montana.

Today we are going to present a short video that can be very good as research because it presents a bit of the route of the US-93 highway.
The most important cities on the west bank of Lake Flathead, is the second city of Polson Lakeside.
The U-S93 road route connects the city of Missoula to the city of Kalispell.
Other small towns deserve to be highlighted as scenery cities in "ATS: DLC - Montana", among the cities on the west bank of the lake, the city of Polson has more economic activities, and some are very interesting. We will talk more in a future post about this city.

This establishment could be playable for the Montana DLC map due to the existence of a company that manufactures products for beekeeping.
These materials are sold to the entire country of the United States and also to Canada, to serve small beekeepers with smaller quantities and volume shipments.

02:50 - 3:00 - Lake County Court House

The two buildings are neighbors separated only by a street as is very evident in the video and also in Street View the highlight for these two buildings is in their design.

03:43 - Hotel I Motel (?) " Flathead "
This establishment has a long history related to the city. Very old photos lead to the conclusion that the current configuration was the effect of modernization and expansion of the accommodation location. The only doubt that remains if in the category establishment: Hotel, Motel or sidential today. Its architecture is very attractive.



03:52 - drone view Lake Flathead.
The video ends with beautiful images of the lake in the city.

This is a very beautiful place, we were able to find images that can collaborate to create an Urban map, even if scenic with greater accuracy.

Note: soon this post will be updated to have some more add-ons for the city and also the Economic part.

With Cripple Creek coming to ATS in the Colorado dlc, this would be nice as well. Its right off I-90.

Unfortunately, Berkeley Pit in Butte is no longer in service. But it can be scenic at least off I-15 in a few locations. Pretty much like the copper mind is in Clifton, Az.

Isn't Berkley Pit just a lake of horribly corrosive acid now?

I saw this thread a while ago and have been wanting to take some time to add some photos and my suggestions for a future Montana expansion to ATS. Here they are. My focus is primarily on Helena, because I think that its unique position to the north of, not directly on the East/West path of I-90 has made it overlooked by many motorists. Helena is nevertheless a very important part of what makes Montana.

Overall, I think there are some obvious landmarks which deserve a mention such as the Mines and the Skyline of Butte, and "Our Lady of the Rockies" - an enormous statue of Mary which stands high on the mountainside visible when travelling I-90 East. The large truck stop East of Missoula, and those which are near the I-90/I-15 Interchange heading down toward Utah are also worth looking at. The enormous Buffalo Jump which appears to the West of I-15 just south of Great Falls would be another natural landmark worth looking up. But for my part, I've included some photos of Helena (Where I currently live) and notes on a few key landmarks which I think would add a lot of character to that part of the map (without too much detail or work being required to make them.)

Notably, the downtown area of Helena is in a valley, and not on any truck route - so that would be one part of Helena that doesn't really need to be included in ATS. Anyway, I'm definitely excited to see the work you guys do should you choose to build out into Montana! The work you've already done is fantastic. Finally, I think if you're really trying to capture Montana, just remember that it isn't really the cities that make Montana. It is all the space in between. The passing grain fields and thousands of cattle, the rolling hills we call mountains, and the open sky.
