This term reflected the challenges of farming and settlement in the region, as the land appeared barren and inhospitable compared to more fertile areas. The perception was also influenced by early explorers and settlers who struggled to cultivate the land, leading to the idea that it was largely unproductive. However, advancements in agriculture and irrigation later revealed the Plains' potential for farming and ranching.
