The cattlemen resented the sodbusters because they moved into the newly settled West and put up fences which limited the grazing land for the cattle.
Ranchers and sodbusters (farmers) differed primarily in their approach to land use and management. Ranchers typically focused on grazing livestock over large expanses of land, prioritizing open range practices, while sodbusters cultivated crops, requiring intensive land modification and tilling. This created conflicts over land rights and usage, as ranchers sought to maintain free access for their cattle, while sodbusters aimed to establish permanent agricultural settlements that often encroached on grazing lands. Their differing priorities reflected broader tensions between livestock and crop production in the development of the American West.
Ranchers primarily raised livestock on the open range, while sodbusters practiced crop farming on cultivated land. Ranchers had more freedom to move their animals over large expanses of land, while sodbusters focused on settling and farming specific plots of land. This led to conflicts over land use between ranchers and sodbusters in frontier regions.
Sodbusters are farmers who moved onto the Great Plains in the late 1800s, and are named for ploughing and working on the hard ground of the plains in order to plant their harvests.
