Farmer
Often derisively called “sodbusters” by cowboys and ranchers, farmers were another common staple of the Old West. For most, theirs was a hard life of endless toil, plowing, planting, weeding, tending, and harvesting crops. The first settlers in a given area were usually farmers trying to scrape a living out of the land, meaning that they had to build a home, raise a crop, and fend off any unfriendly natives or neighbors.
