The temperatures were very hot in the summer and freezing on the winter.

Fires, tornadoes, and other extreme weather was common.

Crops were difficult to grow due to the lack of water, the regularity of stampedes crushing crops, and also because the soil was not great for growing crops.

The amount of land allotted to each person was minimal by the Homesteading Act, so farmers did not have a lot of land to begin with.

Sod houses were good to live in, but snakes, rats, and mice usually lived in the dark corners.
