  3. 3Lack of technology was a problem because not only were they too poor to afford technology, there wasn't much on offer until the 1870's, so most of the work had to be done by hand.

    The [blank_start]sod buster[blank_end] was invented in [blank_start]1872[blank_end] were steel tools that allowed farmers to plough their land as it was dry and hard. Made out of steel so they were strong so they didn't break.

    [blank_start]Barbed Wire[blank_end] was introduced in [blank_start]1874[blank_end], which helped keep wild animals and passing herds from destroying their crops, although did cause conflict between homesteaders and cowboys, who needed to pass through while on the long drive.

    The [blank_start]Wind Pump[blank_end] was also introduced in [blank_start]1874[blank_end] which allowed deep wells to be drilled down very deep to reach the water. A [blank_start]windmill[blank_end] was then built on top which constantly put pressure on the water and made it rise up. It greatly helped homesteaders get a better supply of water.
