Yes they have.
By 1930, almost all the Great Plains had been turned into farms or ranches... so False.... Its not true.
The plains farmers were often called homesteaders or settlers. These individuals were responsible for establishing farms and cultivating the land on the Great Plains in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The best farms with the best soil are usually where rivers have dumped sediment. Flood plains have been overtaken by housing, but these areas are the most rich soils for farming.
The earliest dude ranches started in the 1860's
over time humans have changed their natural enviorments and created new ones. Forests and grasslands that once stretched for miles have been replaced by farms and ranches.
Rolling Plains has many cattle ranches due to its vast stretches of grassland, which provide ample grazing opportunities. The region's climate and soil conditions are conducive to raising livestock, particularly cattle. Additionally, the ranching tradition in this area has been established for generations, supported by a strong infrastructure for cattle farming. This combination of natural resources and historical practices makes the Rolling Plains an ideal location for cattle ranching.
They got shot
In 1950 nearly 10 million workers were employed on farms and ranches, but by 1969 this figure had been reduced to roughly 3 million. In subsequent decades, this number continued to drop

They are scattered around the eastern and south sides of the Great Plains, particularly on the southern side of the railroad tracks. They are in especially great abundance along the telegraph poles/wires running north-south past Broken Tree and the road that runs through the words "Broken Tree" on the map.
Mammoths were grass eating animals. Because grass grows well in the plains, that would have been an ideal habitat for mammoths. In fact, woolly mammoths lived in the tundra, which are dry, treeless plains, and Columbian mammoths lived in the Great Plains.
