While some acreage was unsuitable for farming and used only as grazing land for animals, other acreage was Arkansas River bottom land rich in nutrients for the production of a variety of vegetables. Some of the crops raised by the evacuees were familiar to people living in the area but other crops were raised in Colorado for the first time.
