This lecture was based on defining what the great plains actually are. As soon as we understand can understand what the plains are composed of, we can then define its location and boundaries. The Great Plains must be described by its physical as being level, treeless, and semi-arid. The plains can not simply be defined by its physical characteristics it must also be described though its culture.
It was interesting to see how diverse the Great Plains actually are. Being a Minnesota boy, one who was raised to think poorly of the infertile land, fell victim to the interstate syndrome. They only time I was ever on the plains was to get through it as fast as possible to greater places. I now am intrigued at its beauty and sculpture nature that can be seen in the ruggedness of the badlands or simply the tones and textures of the grasses.
I simply wonder why nobody can design a watering device that waters squares, or from another perspective, why do farmers buy square pieces of land? It is kind of random, but it really does not make sense to me.
