A drought is the development that would most likely destroy a prairie farmer's crops. Insufficient rainfall can severely limit water availability for plants, leading to stunted growth or complete crop failure. Additionally, extreme heat can exacerbate drought conditions, further stressing the crops and diminishing yields. Other factors like pests or disease can also threaten crops, but drought is typically the most devastating in prairie regions.
