One way pioneers adapted to living on the Great Plains was by constructing homes known as sod houses, or "soddies," made from the thick, prairie grass roots and soil. This building material was readily available and provided insulation against the harsh weather conditions, including extreme heat and cold. Additionally, pioneers learned to cultivate drought-resistant crops, such as wheat, and developed new farming techniques to cope with the region's challenging climate.
