    Many farmer didn't like life on the plains. The great plains was very dry and flat. Settlers had to learn how to farm on the Great Plains. Settlers were sometimes called sodbusters becuase they had to break through the sod in order to grow crops. Sod was soil held together by grass roots. There were grass fires since the grass was so dry that they needed to plant plants that did not need that much water. Winters were long and cold and Summer was hot and dry. They carried water from the stream and some used windmills to get water. In the 1870s millions of grasshoppers at there crops. Now with new machines they found it easier to do agriculture better.
