What was scarce on the Great Plains in contrast to natural and grown products found in the East?

There were more trees to make timber in the East; more stones and rocks; more coal, petroleum, and oil... and products made from these were scarce in the Plains. Even salt water (ocean) and fresh water was scarcer in the Great Plains than in the East.
Men in the East made cotton, sugar, salt, and corn oil.
The East up through the early 1900s was still thickly wooded; even now, much is still rural woodlands. Where-ever you have woodlands, you have plentiful small game, birds, deer, snakes, and insects. So if no woodlands, you would also not have the wildlife or insects. And without woodlands, the soil would not be rich loam and would not retain moisture.
