Rainfall on the eastern plains made it possible for american Indians such as the Pawnee And the Omaha to farm successfully
there squishy poop sandwiches haha!
the houses were made out of sod
they settled near rivers and began to farm
Before the Civil War settlers going west skipped right over the Great Plains because the thick prairie grass was too thick and hard for iron plows to manage.Blacksmith John Deere invented the steel plow which could cut through the thick sod easily. This made it possible to farm the land and therefore made the land attractive to settlers.his tiller(or something) made it so the plains could be planted with crops- motivation for farmers to move west

Prairie homesteaders often built their homes out of sod due to lack of wood on the treeless plains. Sod houses, or soddy, were made by stacking blocks of grass and soil cut from the prairie. This method provided insulation against harsh weather and helped homes blend into the landscape.
Irrigation has made some farm and garden crops possible in some deserts.

The plains could not be farmed as easily as other farms. Most parts of the region had little rainfall and very few streams for irrigation. One approach made was called Dry farming witch allowed farmers to farm without water.
