One of the primary shortcomings of the HomesteadAct of 1862, a program through which the federalgovernment offered free plots of land to US citizenswilling to establish farms in the American West, wasthat the plots were too small to sustain a farm. Landin the semiarid Great Plains region received twentyor fewer inches of rain per year, so plots there were best left half unplanted each growingseason to conserve water. With farms consisting of a mere 160 acres, however, this practicewould not have produced sufficient harvests. Moreover, raising cattle was impossible becausethe tiny homesteads would quickly become overgrazed. According to geologist and explorer JohnWesley Powell, sustainable homesteads on the Great Plains actually needed to be a staggering 2,560 acres.
