Despite the promises of promotional pamphlets, farming on the great plains was not an easy task. difficulties came in many forms—from the poisonous rattlesnakes that lived in the tall prairie grass to the blizzards and droughts that periodically afflicted the region. much of the burden fell on women. farm families generally invested in the kinds of labor-saving machinery that would bring in cash, not machines that would ease women’s burdens in the household (like the back-breaking task of doing laundry). while husbands and sons tended to devote their labor to cash crops, farm wives cared for animals, grew crops for food, and cooked and cleaned. a farm woman in arizona described her morning chores in her diary: "get up, turn out my chickens, draw a pail of water, make a fire, put potatoes to cook, brush and sweep half-inch of dust off the floor, feed three litters of chickens, then mix biscuits, get breakfast, milk, besides work in the house, and this morning had to go half a mile after calves." on far-flung homesteads, many miles from schools, medical care, and sources of entertainment, farm families suffered from loneliness and isolation—a problem especially severe for women when their husbands left, sometimes for weeks at a time, to market their crops.'identify the statements that describe farming on the great plains.
