Wheat is a crop important to the Great Plains.
Wheat is able to withstand drought better than corn and some other crops!Wheat became as important to the great plains as cotton become to the South!
The Great Plains have mostly flat and fertile land, with vast grasslands and few trees. The region experiences a continental climate with hot summers and cold winters. The land is used for agriculture and ranching due to its fertile soil and suitable climate for crop cultivation and grazing.
Corn, wheat, barely, sorghum, soybeans, lentils, and field peas are some crops that are grown on the Great Plains. and way more things and they were all good for your body system

The answer is "There were frequent crop failures due to lack of rain."
During the Great Depression years, in the Dust Bowl states, located in the Great Plains, dust and dirt 'devoured' many crops leaving farmers without adequate earnings and crop yields.
The Mennonite settlers brought with them hard winter wheat. It was better adapted to the dry growing conditions of the Great Plains than were the wheat strains grown there earlier.
Mountains have steep, elevated peaks with rocky terrain, while plains are flat expanses of land with minimal elevation changes. Mountains typically have rugged terrain and are often covered in forests, while plains are more suitable for agriculture and are characterized by grasslands or crop fields.
Planting the same crop over several years in the Great Plains depletes the soil of specific nutrients, leading to decreased soil fertility. This can result in reduced crop yields and increased vulnerability to pests and diseases. Crop rotation or the use of cover crops can help replenish nutrients and maintain soil health.
