What were three problems faced by settlers on the great plains?

Perhaps the most important of these was the fact that the Great Plains were simply not that easy to farm using the technology that was then available.  Rain was not very consistent.  There were things like locust swarms.  Even the ground was hard to plow because of how thick the roots of the prairie grasses were.  

A second set of problems was connected to the fact that the Great Plains were far from the populated areas.  There was very little wood on the Great Plains and it was hard to get any from the East.  This meant people had to do things like living in sod houses.  They had to do without much fuel and without many kinds of foods that were available in the East.

`stare decisis is a legal doctrine that obligates courts to follow historical cases when making a ruling on a similar current or future case. stare decisis ensures that cases with identical facts be approached in the same way, unless overruled by the same court or a higher court such as the us supreme court. simply put, it binds courts to follow legal precedents set by previous decisions.

stare decisis is a latin term meaning "to stand by that which is decided".
