Western farmers primarily sold wheat as their main cash crop. The expansive plains provided ideal conditions for wheat cultivation, making it a staple in the agricultural economy. Additionally, corn and barley were also significant cash crops in certain regions, but wheat dominated due to its high demand both domestically and internationally.

One reason for the end of the western cattle bonanza was--overgrazing of the plains. (NovaNet)
Deere's steel plow and McCormick's reaper significantly enhanced agricultural efficiency, making it easier for settlers to cultivate the tough soil of the western plains. The steel plow allowed farmers to break up dense prairie soil, while the reaper increased the speed and ease of harvesting crops. These innovations made farming more productive and profitable, attracting more settlers eager to take advantage of the rich agricultural potential of the region. Consequently, the combination of improved farming techniques and increased crop yields played a crucial role in encouraging the settlement and development of the western plains.
