Best Answer

The plains were nearly treeless. Settlers had to build homes out of sod. To keep warm the sod-busters burned corn cobs or "cow chips." Cow chips were dried pieces of cow dung. Water was scarce. in many places settlers had to dig wells more than 280 feet deep to reach the only water. Sod-busters also endured blizzards, prairie fires, hailstorms, tornadoes, grasshoppers (which ate crops), and drought. Drought was one of their biggest problems
