The farmers of the Great Plains, or sodbusters, built their homes out of the sod, or peices of the tough buffalo grass of the prairie.

  • They laid chunks of sod into rows to build walls
  • The houses were well insulated. They stayed cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
  • But the roofs leaked rain and dirt. Mice, snakes and insects lived in the walls
